Default Hovering, explain it to me pls :-)

So,

hovering means to be just 'standing' in the air, right? That means the only thing that holds the plane up is the thrust of the propeller/engine? Okey, now is nowadys every engine on the market capable of hovering, does is create enough thrust to keep it's weight+plus the weight of the recommended airplane up? How about a Cox .010 does this tiny little engine have enough thrust to hover, if it would be mounted on a tiny little 3d plane? :-)
thx bye bye
