Narrative:
After landing on runway 32 at rdu on roll out, the right gear came up while the left gear remained down. The plane entered the grass to the right between runway lights and came to a stop. There were no injuries and no serious damage with only minor cosmetic scrape to the hull in one spot. Landing was smooth. Cause unknown. Over center locking mechanism will be reviewed as likely cause.
