It's 10pm. It's 6 degrees outside. I decide to go flying. I fly an
Cessna 150.

I can hardly imagine going outside in 6 degrees. Heck, I can hardly
imagine 6 degrees.

Your surprise and reactions are reasonable, don't bother worrying about how
you could have reacted differently or sooner. That's the past.

It sounds as though your A&P doesn't think you have any damage. That's
surprising, but great news. It doesn't take much of a carb fire to char
wire insulation or put holes in that thin SCAT tubing. You made the right
decision to wait for an examination.

Now, get the plane go back, have a nice flight, and don't let it worry you.
