Hey guys I was wondering what thrust is needed for comfortable 3D flying? The combination I am looking at should give me 15.4lb to fly a 12lb plane. Is that too low to for good 3D?

Is this a real measured 15 pounds of thrust? If so, I have found that a 10 pound plane with about 1100sq in of wing loading is about as high as I like to go. If the wing area goes down to 900in, then I like max weight to be closer to 8.5 pounds. This is at lower elevations.
