Design and development

The Magic was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft rules, with different models for each category. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The Magic strongly resembles the Cessna 150. [1] [2]

The aircraft is made from sheet 6061-T6 aluminum. Its 8.85 m (29.0 ft) span wing has an area of 12.48 m2 (134.3 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The standard engine available is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. The Magic was designed to use rough, unimproved airstrips. [1] [2]

A total of 102 Magics of all versions had been built by May 2011. [3]
