## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) THE EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT WAS BEING OPERATED DURING THE FIRST PHASE OF THE FLIGHT OPERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPERATING LIMITATIONS. IT LANDED ON RUNWAY 06 AT THE NORTHEAST AIRPORT (KPNE), NEAR PHILADELPHIA, PA. THE MAIN GEAR INADVERTENTLY RETRACTED BECAUSE OF A DOWN LOCK "I" BEAM SUPPORTS TWISTING ALLOWING THE DOWN LOCK PINS TO DISENGAGE FROM THE LANDING GEAR BRACKETS, THUSLY ALLOWING THE THREE-QUARTER MAIN GEAR TO RETRACT. THE ENGINE WAS AT IDLE, HOWEVER BECAUSE OF THE LOW PROFILE OF THE AIRCRAFT THE WOODEN PROPELLER STRUCK THE PAVEMENT BREAKING BOTH BLADES. THE LOWER ENGINE COWLING, THE ENDS OF THE EXHAUST RISERS, THE THROTTLE CONTROL SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE. THE BOTTOM OF THE FUSELAGE AND THE BOTTOM OF THE WINGS, EXCEPT FOR THE AREA ADJACENT TO THE WHEEL WELLS DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY DAMAGE. THE AREA AROUND THE WHEEL WELL SUSTAINED MINOR FIBERGLASS DAMAGE. THIS MATTER IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
