MACON, GA, USA
N6138V
BEECH S35
AFTER LANDING AND COMING TO A STOP ON THE RUNWAY, THE PILOT MADE A 180 DEGREE TURN TO PROCEED TO A TAXIWAY AND BEGAN CLEANING UP THE COCKPIT. DURING THE TURN, THE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE INADVERTENTLY RAISED THE GEAR HANDLE INSTEAD OF THE FLAP HANDLE. AN EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED THAT THE STRUTS WERE OVER-IN FLATED WHICH PREVENTED THE "SQUAT" SWITCH FROM ACTING AS A SAFETY FEATURE.
