Micro Aviation NZ
The original B10 Bantam was designed by Max Clear and first flew in 1983. He had previously built D31 Turbulent ZK-CWI and Pitts Special ZK-EES.

He set up a company to manufacture them called Micro Aviation, based at Te Kowhai Airfield, Limmer Road, RD8, Hamilton, New Zealand. The design evolved into a very successful two-seater and many were built.

Following the death of Max Clear in 2011, Micro was taken over by Colin Smith's Croydon Aircraft Company and moved to Mandeville in late 2012. The Micro Aviation Bantam spares and support work has been set up as separate subsidiary company called Micro Aviation NZ 2012 Ltd, though no further complete aircraft have been built.

Address is now Mandeville Airfield at 1552 Waimea Highway, RD6, Gore, New Zealand
Website is: http://www.experiencemandeville.com/restoration/

There were agencies with Micro Aviation UK and Micro Aviation Europe based in Netherlands, but these no longer operate.

Micro Aviation South Africa
Initially this was a successful major dealership based at Nelspruit, which took the majority of the NZ production of Bantams from about 2003.
These were shipped as kits without being flown in NZ, and were assembled at Nelspruit.
Following cessation of the Bantam production in NZ in 2012, and an increase in the legal weight limit of the ultralight/microlight category in several countries, the design was re-worked and strengthened by Micro SA as the B22 Bat Hawk with gross weight increased to 540 kg. They are built entirely at Nelspruit.
Micro SA also took on an agency for CAMit engines (which had split off from Jabiru), but following CAMit's bankruptcy in 2016 they now install 100 hp Rotax.
See Bat Hawk section below.

Bat Hawk China
This is the trading name of the Panjin Company at Liaoning which became Micro SA's agency in China,
It started in 2016 and purchased four Bat Hawks.
Website was:
http://www.bathawkchina.com, but this no longer functions,
The aircraft were believed to be stored unflown as at 12/19.

Max Adventure Sports, India
An order for 200 Bat Hawk aircraft was announced in August 2019 for Max Adventure Sports in India. These were to have been shipped as kits for local assembly in India. Following Covid problems, this order has been shelved.

Bat Hawk Aircraft Inc, Marietta, GA, USA

Following confusion resulting from rescheduling different engine types on production line, the two sequences were merged in 2000.
A gap was left for implicit merging in of the separate B22S series - main number sequence then continued with addition of a year prefix

B22 Bat Hawk

B22 design reworked & strengthened by Micro Aviation, South Africa; to LSA standards with 540 kg MAUW. Produced by Micro Aviation at Nelspruit, South Africa from 2012. See: http://www.bathawk.co.za/
Initially a few sub-assemblies were supplied from NZ, but most were built entirely in South Africa.

Initially with Jabiru 3300 120 hp engines, then CAMit CAE3300 125 hp engines for which Micro SA had agency. After bankruptcy of CAMit in Oct 2016, they changed to the Bat Hawk R model using Rotax 100 hp from c/n 0046.

There have been two c/n sequences. The first was started in late 2012. The second series from late 2014 was introduced following detail modifications for grant of full type approval.

The six aircraft (0029 to 0034) supplied to the Botswana Defence Force were modified by Micro SA with pairs of strut-mounted 5.6 mm (0.22 in) machine guns. See
https://www.defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/aerospace-aerospace/botswana-defence-force-to-arm-its-bat-hawk-aircraft/

Note that the name Bathawk has also been used for a family of drones made by UDS in South Africa, with ZT-Txx registrations. These have nothing to do with Micro Aviation Bat Hawk aircraft
