Analysis
During a missed approach from a practice ILS apch, a loud noise was heard during gear retraction. Subsequent attempts toextend the gear, both normally & manually, resulted in the right gear remaining up & locked with the inboard gear door slightly open. The plt landed the acft with the right gear retracted, & the acft swerved right into a taxiway direction sign. The right gear was found held in the up position by the gear up lock. A spring, p/n 35-815115, designed to lift the up lock out of position allowing the gear down sequence to begin was missing.
