The new owner of the aircraft, was accompanied by an instructor on a private flight to the General Flying Training Area North of Wonderboom to familiarise himself with the aircraft as he was not yet rated on the type. After executing a number of steep turns and stalls in the General Flying Training Area at various flap configurations and with the gear extended, they continued to Freeway aerodrome, where two touch and go landings were executed on Runway 20. The aircraft was then re-positioned for a touch and go landings on Runway 02. During the second touch and go landing on Runway 02 with full flap selected, the right-hand main gear collapsed approximately 120 ft after touch down. The aircraft veered to the right and came to rest next to the runway on a heading of approximately 155s? M. Damage was caused to the right-hand propeller and wingtip, but no injuries were sustained. The pilot stated that he had 'three greens'? prior to landing and the gear warning horn did not sound. PROBABLE CAUSE: All indications are that the right-hand main gear collapsed on landing as a result of the side braces not being driven into the fully extended over centre position prior to landing. Metallurgical analysis of the failed landing gear components revealed no pre-existing failures or prior defects that could have contributed to the accident and it was concluded that all failures occurred as a result of an overload condition.
