Overview
The pilot reported that after several attempts to extend the landing gear, he performed a manual extension. The subsequent landing was described as slow, and the rollout brief. During the rollout, the landing gear collapsed, causing the airplane to settle onto the runway, slide approximately 200 feet, and come to a stop on the centerline. Within moments, a fire ensued, destroying the airplane.
Witness Observation
A witness stated that the airplane landed on its tires and rolled several feet before the landing gear collapsed.
Examination
An examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies.
