Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot said that after landing he inadvertently moved the main landing gear lever rather than the flap lever to the retract position, which resulted in the collapse of all three landing gear and substantial damage to the undercarriage of the airplane. The pilot reported no anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
