It features a strut-braced high-wing, an enclosed cabin with two seats in side-by-side configuration accessed by doors, fixed tricycle landing gear or conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The aircraft is made of sheet and tubular aluminum. Standard engines available are the {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 912ULS, {{convert|115|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 914 and the {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Lycoming IO-233 four-stroke powerplants.

The P92 Eaglet was introduced in 2008. It employs a cockpit section made of steel tubing covered in sheet aluminum and a monocoque tail cone. It also features a new wing design, a rear window and a cabin that is {{convert|117|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} wide.

The design is an accepted Federal Aviation Administration special light-sport aircraft.{{cite web|url = https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/media/SLSA_Directory.xlsx|title = SLSA Make/Model Directory|accessdate = 21 March 2017|last = Federal Aviation Administration|author-link = Federal Aviation Administration|date = 26 September 2016}}
