Narrative:
During a local proficiency flight I noticed a problem with my landing gear hydraulic system. Upon lowering the gear I failed to have a down and locked indication on the right gear. I notified the tower and did a fly-by and the tower stated the gear appeared to be down. Upon touchdown, and during the rollout, the right gear collapsed. Upon investigation, the right landing gear hydraulic actuator had separated from itself, which prevented the gear to extend to the locked position. No structural damage occurred. Aircraft was a war plane replica (experimental).

Title: SMA HAS R GEAR FAIL TO LOCK, COLLAPSES ON ROLLOUT.
Narrative: DURING A LCL PROFICIENCY FLT I NOTICED A PROB WITH MY LNDG GEAR HYD SYS. UPON LOWERING THE GEAR I FAILED TO HAVE A DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATION ON THE R GEAR. I NOTIFIED THE TWR AND DID A FLY-BY AND THE TWR STATED THE GEAR APPEARED TO BE DOWN. UPON TOUCHDOWN, AND DURING THE ROLLOUT, THE R GEAR COLLAPSED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE R LNDG GEAR HYD ACTUATOR HAD SEPARATED FROM ITSELF, WHICH PREVENTED THE GEAR TO EXTEND TO THE LOCKED POS. NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE OCCURRED. ACFT WAS A WAR PLANE REPLICA (EXPERIMENTAL).
