Fred,
I have MTOW 1450 lbs /658 kg.
I got a nice letter from Mr. Andy Draper say 15-years ago, and that helped.
It was also possible to make a 2+2 Europa (max 60 kg for back seats,
suitable for two children or just one model type woman, if she is pretty
enough).
My Europas naked weight is 919 lbs /417 kg (today obviously a bit more).
I _know_ around 1550 lbs /703 kg is not a problem for OH-XRT _during
take-off_ - better to land with almost empty tank then.

is that most Europas in the US are tagged at 1450 lbs., and I know of
one which was approved at 1600 lbs. (believe it or not).
