Narrative:

We were cleared for takeoff runway 33 at pne (wind 290/300 at 15). Starting the takeoff roll nothing unusual, until the 1000 ft marker, the airplane suddenly turns sharp left (+/- 120 degree), and we are going sideways over the runway until we hit the grass, as we hit the grass the right main gear separates from the airplane. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information. The reporting instructor pilot believes that there was a bolt missing in right main gear attach fitting, and that another of the 3 bolts failed on the takeoff roll allowing the gear to collapse. There was a student pilot aboard. There were no injuries. The FSDO duty officer talked to the reporter over the telephone at the time of the incident, and the reporter has not seen the FSDO representative since the incident. The reporter believes that the FSDO never looked at the aircraft.
