Design and development

The GS-710 Magic was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb). [1]

The aircraft features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cabin with doors, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1]

The GS-710 Magic is made from sheet aluminium "all-metal" construction, with the wing tips and cowling made from composite material. Its 8.69 m (28.5 ft) span wing employs a NACA 650-18m airfoil and mounts flaps. The wing employs conventional ailerons or, optionally, Junkers ailerons with leading edge slats and is supported by V-struts with jury struts. The main landing gear is sprung 7075-T6 aluminium, while the nose gear has lever suspension using rubber pucks and helical springs. The main wheels include hydraulic disc brakes. [1]

The standard engine used is the 60 kW (80 hp) Rotax 912UL powerplant, driving a three-bladed Ivoprop propeller. [1]

The aircraft's empty weight was reduced by 15% over the GS-700. The GS-710 has a typical empty weight of 279 kg (615 lb) and a gross weight of 450 kg (990 lb), giving a useful load of 171 kg (377 lb). A gross weight of 500 kg (1,102 lb) is optional. [1]
