Design and development
The GS-750 Grand Magic is a development of the two-seat Ibis GS-700 Magic. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a four-seat enclosed cabin with doors, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is made from sheet aluminium "all-metal" construction, with the wing tips and cowling made from composite material. Its 9.70 m (31.8 ft) span wing employs a NACA 650-18m airfoil, mounts flaps and has a wing area of 15.71 m2 (169.1 sq ft). The wing is supported by V-struts and 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.
The acceptable power range is 113 to 157 kW (152 to 211 hp) and the standard engines used are the eight cylinder 134 kW (180 hp) Jabiru 5100 and, since July 2010, the 157 kW (211 hp) Lycoming IO-390-X powerplant.
The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 520 kg (1,150 lb) and a gross weight of 1,020 kg (2,250 lb), giving a useful load of 500 kg (1,100 lb). With full fuel of 151.4 l (33.3 imp gal; 40.0 US gal) the payload for pilot, passengers and baggage is 391 kg (862 lb).
The standard day, sea level, no wind, take off with a 113 kW (152 hp) engine is 250 m (820 ft) and the landing roll is 300 m (984 ft).
