WHILE LNDG, THE PLT DECIDED TO GO AROUND. HE STATED THE ACFT FLOATED AS HE APPLIED PWR & THE PWR INCREASED TO ABOUT 2400 RPM. HE RAISED THE NOSE SLIGHTLY & RETRACTED THE ELECTRICALLY OPERATED FLAPS FROM 35 TO ZERO DEG. HE SAID HE ESTABLISHED A CLIMB TO ABOUT 30', THEN THE ACFT STALLED. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT DSCNDD ONTO THE RWY IN A NOSE LOW, LEFT WING DOWN ATTITUDE & WAS DAMAGED. THE PLT HAD NOT RETURNED THE CARB HEAT TO THE COLD POSITION. THIS WAS HIS 1ST FLT IN THIS MAKE & MODEL OF ACFT AFTER HAVING A CHECK-OUT WITH AN INSTRUCTOR (CFI). TWO SESSIONS & 2 HRS OF FLT TIME WERE USED TO CHECK THE PLT OUT IN THE CESSNA 150, BUT THE CFI DID NOT HAVE HIM MAKE A GO-AROUND DRG THE CHECK-OUT. THE PLT HAD PREVIOUSLY FLOWN ONLY LOW WING ACFT WITH MANUALLY OPERATED FLAPS.
