The P-1 has been introduced into the USA as an S-LSA aircraft by Paradise USA LLC,
based in Sebring, Florida. No modifications have been made to its basic structure.
It cruises at 120 MPH burning 5.3 GPH. With its solid aluminium landing gear and
efficient wing design, enabling an extremely low stall speed, it offers excellent
take-off and landing performance, making it possible to operate from very short,
paved and unpaved runways.
The standard P-1 LSA comes with a complete package including double deluxe yokes
with PTT, VFR radio, standard 6-pack instrument panel, transponder with mode C encoder,
a panel-mounted color GPS, vacuum horizon, manual elevator and rudder trim, manual
flaps, sun shield, removable doors, parking brake and double toe brake, heavy duty
hydraulic brakes, steerable nose wheel and aerodynamic wheel covers. Pilot and passenger
comfort is guaranteed with adjustable and easily removable leather seats, a padded
and carpeted interior, and optimum sound and heat insulation. With 18 cubic feet,
the extremely useful baggage compartment behind the seats is the largest in this
class of aircraft and can easily accommodate a couple of suitcases or golf bags.
With a cabin width of 1.10 metres, the Paradise P-1 offers a great deal of comfort
whether you are flying locally or on a cross-country trip. With its low fuel burn
and 142 l tank, this aircraft combines comfort and economy. Its low maintenance
characteristics and simple but reliable design ensure that many spare parts can
be acquired easily and locally, while Paradise USA LLC owns and operates a complete,
5000 sq ft maintenance base in Sebring offering you a fast and efficient service.
Tyre sizes are standard 5.0 which are common to Cessna 172 and are readily available.
