I'm looking to get into Pattern flying. I have an UltraSport 1000 w/Saito 1.50GK. 79.5" wingspan ... Would this be a good plane to get started with or should I purchase something else to begin with?
There is no reason why you could not practice with your plane. Not sure what rules exactly are applied in the lower level competition classes in your area, or how strictly they are applied.
If you can fly a straight line and do a loop, roll and stall turn with your plane, go and practice to make them perfect.
