First off Mike yes for pattern flying four strokes are better engines because they give a good climb and accelration at low speed. But i was talking about 3D flying (i might be mistaken but thats aerobatics right?) in 3D flying 2 stroke engines are usually better because they give a high speed to do all the crazy manuvers with low weight (i cold be mistaken). With a four stroke youll be adding wieght to the nose making you put lead in the tail to get the right CG for an aerobatic plane just adding alot of unnessasary weight. By aerobatics i meant 3D flying sorry if i put in any confusion.
Also the big factor like mike said is cost like i said i would definently choose a 4 stroke over a 2 stroke if the costs were the same.
Dirtbos i dont see alot of grandparents or parents for that matter that are taking out there kids to teach them how to fly. I really admire that and fun is what this hobby is all about hope you have alot of that.
