Narrative:
I was on final and my right landing gear light did not come on. It had done this in the past so I wiggled it and it came on showing the gear was down. I thought the gear was down like usual. But as I started to land I worried it may not be down and tried to activate the manual gear. As I was landing the right side of the plane started to go down. I caught [and] leveled it on 2 wheels. I was only able to do this shortly and was afraid I was going to cartwheel. So I lifted up and lifted the gear; so I could simply slide; which I did.
