Default thrust to weight?

is there a ratio rule-of-thumb for thrust vs. weight in an edf?
I did plan on burying 2 edf-75's into a 3dfoamy f-18 but the airframe is just too small and modification to the tail to fit 'em made for one UGLY cad drawing... finally picked a design (x-02) and need to know how much plane I can build (weight wise) with roughly 24oz. of thrust (will hopefully have more thrust with b/l motors, just calculating conservatively now with regards to scale...)
