Narrative:
While taxiing for fuel, the right main gear collapsed as the aircraft was making a left turn. Gear handle selector was down and I did confirm 3 greens as I began to taxi. Aircraft collapsed on the ramp area free of any taxiway and no one was hurt. Inspection of the aircraft that day revealed broken hydraulic lines in the gear hydraulic system. The lines were also found to be corroded and ordered to be replaced. FAA inspectors described the damage as minor.
