Oversped an R22 engine yesterday on strartup. I could have sworn the throttle was in the detent, but I don't see how an overspeed would be possible like that on startup without the throttle butterfly open. I must have not had it closed all the way. In any case it was reported immediately and the engine is being pulled for inspection.

Any idea how much this costs to inspect for an engine overspeed? I am feeling really guilty about it and want to help pay for the inspection, but I need to have an idea of cost. Anyone have any insight?
