For cheap 3D I have an OMP Profile Edge. Excellent plane.
For cheap Pattern I have a World Models Spot On 50. Competed in Sportsman with it this year. Mediocre plane.
Both are very different planes.
I also have a Reactor 46. It flies great but think it may be too floaty for Pattern and it is not as good as my profile for 3D. But to be honest I have not flown it that much. Both the Reactor and the Spot On 50 are extremely nose heavy. The battery for the Reactor I moved under the rudder.
Good Luck!
Ditto.
Even the SPot On 120 is very nose heavy
