Default Thrust to weight of a model jet

How much weight will an aircraft powered by a JDE54 or similar engine fly well at? Are there any rules-of-thumb for thrust to weight of these highly loaded planes?

How about a Dynamax / OS 91; how much weight will they fly and still have good vertical performance?
