The left main landing gear collapsed shortly after the start of the takeoff roll, causing the propeller and left wing to contact the ground. The maintenance provider reported the incident to the manufacturer, who was not aware of breaks in this area. The manufacturer also advised that their supplier of undercarriage legs was no longer making them. The maintenance provider intended to repair/rebuild the leg and return the aircraft to service. The maintenance provider also inspected the other leg and found a similar crack, which was also repaired.
