Design and development
The BA 100 Aerobat features a cantilever low-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear, or optional conventional landing gear, and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]
The all-metal aircraft is made from sheet aluminum. Its 18.40 ft (5.6 m) span wing lacks flaps and has a wing area of 63.00 sq ft (5.853 m2). The cabin width is 22 in (56 cm). The acceptable power range is 70 to 100 hp (52 to 75 kW) and the standard powerplant is the 70 hp (52 kW) Volkswagen air-cooled engine. For aerobatics the BA 100 is stressed to +/-9g[1]
The BA 100 Aerobat has a typical empty weight of 348 lb (158 kg) and a gross weight of 620 lb (280 kg), giving a useful load of 272 lb (123 kg). With full fuel of 10 U.S. gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal) the payload for pilot and baggage is 212 lb (96 kg).[1]
Factory kit options included conventional landing gear and a STOL kit. The manufacturer estimated the construction time from the supplied kit as 150 hours.[1]
Operational history
By 1998 the company reported that 33 kits had been sold and 28 aircraft were flying.[1]
In December 2013 three examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.[2]

on ebay bradley ba 100 aerobat
Buying private planes is a delicacy of the Arabs, but what if you are not a rich oil merchant from the emirates yet you have the zest to fly a personal birdie! We have monoplanes for that feel, don't we and that's why we should hail Bradley for the Chicago based 'bird' maker gives us a miniscule boondoggle feel so that we don't envy the Sheikhs'. That feel comes at a low catch especially when they sell it through our beloved eBay and before it becomes a sugging act, the latest bird placed on the bid by Bradley is a 2007 version of the all metal BA 100 Bradley aerobat aircraft. When they mention all metal, they mean all metal, thus there ain't any fibreglass, no wood, nails and glue. Mind you, it's not just to overwhelm the complexities form the west, this one is aerobatic to the fullest, from +9g to the negative. Available as a ready to fly or a kit, the BA 100 emulates the famous 'Teenie Two'. The thought of spending $8,999 for something that's in tits and pieces would send a chill down your spine but take my word on that, the company is reputed enough and thus, assures a build time of 200 hours. The chill could be recuperated even for the fact that a completed aircraft holds a worth of $31,000 and without the engine the Kit retails for $11,700, so even if you pick on the latter one you end up saving a couple of grands.
