What is considered a good ratio between aircraft weight and horsepower? A P-51D Mustang had about 7.7 lbs per hp. The kit I am going to build will come in at 6.6 lbs per hp. Those are gross weight figures and the engine at take-off power. My C-172K comes in at 15 lbs per hp!
So what would be a desirable figure?
