The ignition box had a bad solder joint, when the plane bumped something it jarred the wire on the cirucuit board, engine stopped.
Been flying it for three months now with no problems.
The solder fatigue was likely induced by vibration. Was the ignition box padded with foam to isolate the vibration ? Could the circuit wiring be improved to make it more vibration proof ?
