Default Thrust needed for 3D

My memory refuses to work today! I think I read somewhere that for 3D flight, the engines static thrust must be at least double the wieght of the plane. Say, I have a gas engine which produces 45lbs of thrust...the airplane cant weight any more than 22.5lbs if I want it 3D capable. Is this right?


Thanks
Collin
