Shortly after touchdown, the airplane began to swerve left, and the pilot heard a scraping sound. The right main landing gear collapsed, the right wing contacted the runway, and the airplane came to rest on the runway. Examination of lower outboard portion of the right main landing gear leg revealed that the fracture occurred through the upper bolt hole attachment. The forward portion of the bolt hole exhibited three fatigue regions originating from corrosion pits. The aft portion of the bolt hole exhibited one fatigue region originating from a corrosion pit. The airplane had accumulated approximately 8,000 total hours of operation. Prior to the pilot's purchase of the airplane, it was operated as a bush plane in Guatemala.
Probable Cause: Fatigue and corrosion of the right main landing gear attachment, which resulted in a gear collapse while landing.
