its power-to-weight ratio is greater than 1.
We could determine the power-to-weight by looking at the dip angle of
the fuselage while it's flying with the wings oriented vertically.
I suppose that we need to know the lift from the (usually) vertical
tail section to do it (any ideas on doing that?), but it seems like
the plane didn't have to tip much to get enough vertical force on the
propeller to keep it flying.
