The company's first aircraft design, the Paradise P-1 LSA is a two-seat light-sport aircraft for the American market. The aircraft was accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration as an SLSA and by January 2015 ten had been sold in the US.[1][2][3][4]

The company has further developed the P-1 design into the P-1NG, the P-2 and the four-seat P-4. The company works in steel tubing, covered with aluminium sheet[1][5]
