The private pilot reported that, while in cruise flight, a total loss of engine power occurred. After unsuccessful attempts to restart the engine, he landed the airplane gear up in a cornfield, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the engine mixture control cable had fractured about 9 inches from its attachment point at the engine. A metallurgical examination of the mixture control cable with a scanning electron microscope revealed fracture surface features that were consistent with a fatigue failure. It is likely that the engine mixture control cable fractured in flight, which led to a total loss of engine power.
Probable Cause: The total loss of engine power due to a fatigue failure of the engine mixture control cable.
