The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly aircraft. The P1 was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules and was accepted as a factory-built special light-sport aircraft in 2009. 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 aircraft is made from welded steel tubing covered in aluminum sheet. Its 9.0 m (29.5 ft) span wing has an area of 12.6 m2 (136 sq ft) and flaps. The standard engine is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. The cockpit is 110 cm (43.3 in) wide. Originally a production line was set up in the United States, in Sebring, Florida, but this was later closed and in 2015 the company was noted as having no US presence or representation, although production continued in Brazil. In 2008 the design was accepted as a Federal Aviation Administration approved special light-sport aircraft. Examples registered under RAA regulations include 24-7338 (c/n 113), 24-7378 (c/n 82), 24-7383 (c/n 114), 24-7470 (c/n 115) and 24-8124 (c/n 110). The behind the seat baggage space (largest of its category), with 75 lbs of load capacity and over 18 cubic ft of available space can carry a lot of luggage, including 2 golf bags plus a cooler or perhaps your fishing and camping gear. No hotel, remove the seat, place a sleeping bag for a 6 ft + person to sleep in comfort. Read a pilot report on the aircraft pictured above at the Brisbane Valley Sport Aviation Club on page 8 here.
