Default RE: Engine/thrust to weight ratio chart
A 2:1 thrust/weight ratio is what you want. There is a chart somewhere that compares the power loading (oz./cid engine) to performance. If I can remember correctly, something around 200 oz/cu.in. would be unlimited when correctly propped. If anyone has the Andy Lennon book R/C Model Aircraft Design I think the chart is in there.
