## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, PILOT RETRACTED GEAR AND GOT NO UP LIGHT.  COULD SEE INBOARD DOOR TRAILING.  PILOT LOWERED AND LANDED.  BELLCRANK WAS FOUND IN SEVERAL PIECES.  OUTBOARD ROD, 400006-11, WAS BENT AND INBOARD GEAR DOOR WAS OPEN ON LANDING, SCRAPED RUNWAY, AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.  NO OTHER DAMAGE FOUND AND NO MIS-RIGGING WAS FOUND.
