Default Engine thrust vs airplane weight

If I have a sport type plane that weighs ten pounds and an engine that produces ten pounds of thrust, will it just fly OK or will it have unlimited vertical? How do you relate how much engine thrust you need for a given plane weight? Do you need a pound of thrust for each pound of weight? Thanks for any advice.
