while flying from a field by my house and approximately 1 mile from launch at cruise altitude (300-400′) Engine came to stop. Glided to airport grass runway by my house. on post flight found blue coil wire had broken off at connector pin. Repaired connection, ops check good. Be alert for coil wires vibrating off. I soldered wire to pin, hope this will last longer. Always have enough altitude for a forced landing. Be VERY alert to winds aloft.
