I also need to make a correction.... My EAA guy was Joe., not Mike. Joe. That should make it easier.
sorry

Just to add some fuel when a long-lasting discussion is fading out! 
If you think you have problems with the interpretation of the US Sport Pilot rule, imagine that each State in the US had its own version of the said rule.
That's what we have in Europe. I need a helmet in Norway, which I can remove when in Sweden but I have to descend to 3,500 feet and can't have more than 30 liters fuel when reaching Denmark.
Regarding MTOW, UK says that it has to be maximum 450 kg, as given by the manufacturer. Norway, on the other hand, will take that with a grain of salt, arguing that it is, anyway, the PIC responsibility not to exceed that weight, whatever the conditions. On the other hand, Norway won't give a license to a homebuilt aircraft that has an empty weight over 275 kg, because they reckon that you can't add a passenger and fuel and still be under 450 kg. So, people buy "homebuilt" Sky Arrows or Super Petrel, which they trim down to say 270 kg; get the license, then screw on all kind of gadgets and fly with passengers well above the 450 kg MTOW mark ... until they meet an inspection.
Cheers,
Michel

"...can't have more than 30 liters fuel when reaching Denmark."
It this a tax issue, or do they make it such that you now have to now buy gas in Denmark just going again?

Hey, Steve, Aren't you flying yet? It seems that if we agreed with you it
wouldn't mean a hill of beans to your insureance carrier or the FAA. Or
that we disagree with you is of no interest to them either. Can't remember
a time where any government agency or insurance company for that matter put
it to a vote before making a determination on anything.
If you are absolutely convinced you are right, just go flying. I doubt
anyone else really cares what you do in your own airplane - but just don't
fly over my house, OK?

bottom line when you finish testing you are required to put the max weight the aircraft was tested to on your limitations prior to entering phase 2.
that is your max takeoff weight.if it is above 1320 you cannot go back.
