A good cheap pattern plane is the Phoenix Sea Bee. It is light weight and performs well with a 52 four stroke. Fun to fly and you can do pattern or anything else you had in mind. It is not however a 3d aircraft like the U Can Do. For the low cost of $100, the Sea Bee comes with pinned nylon prehinged tail, elevators and aeirlons. Saving you time and messing with ca hinges. Good buy for the money.
