Default RE: Thrust needed for 3D

YUP Not enough thrust if you are asking about 3D flying.

You need at least 1.5 to 1 and more is better. When it all goes wrong at 10 feet you want to be able to rocket out of the hover not just struggle out.

An experienced 3D pilot will cope lower power to weight but for learning more is better.
