Hmmm, I couldn't find it either. I must be ahead of my time...
I am reaching back, but I believe in early times, there was a 1 to 1 thrust to weight ratio rule applied to all turbine aircraft under 55 pounds that was eventually replaced by the 200 mph rule. I'm sure someone here will remember. This was just prior to the effort to put speed limiters on all turbine aircraft that fortunately never made it past the EC.
The rule was actually .9 To 1 weight to thrust and that was 5 or 6 years ago.
