Default RE: 9lbs thrust, is it enough?

I agree with Skyhawknut.

With a 1:1 thrust to weight ratio, you should get good performance. Assuming you have a reasonable air flow with your 85% FSA, you can also use the watts per pound rule. Use a setup with at least 200 watts per pound for good performance. A setup with closer to 300 watts per pound (or higher) will provide great performance.

Good luck!
