Default what plane/engine combination for small space/budget

Hi,
I flew pattern years ago 70-80's and as planes got larger and more expensive with the higher cost of 4 strokes I like many other went off to other things.Before visiting this forum I must admit that I thought you needed a very large plane and engine plus very deep pockets to be involved in this aspect due mostly to all the member with their pictures of their planes that are larger than my car.what would be a good plane/engine combo that could fit in a mini van?something in the 72" or under size.I do have a magnum 120 4 stroke as well as a 91 and 70 plus plenty of 2 strokes from a s-3000 webra speed 120,91,os 1.08,91 and lots of 61's mostly sf and fsr.I do have a use 41 gas and a zenoah 38.it would be a plus if one of the above engines would be suitable.I have been contemplating trying my wm t-34 with an old webra 60 blackhead with a 13-5 or 12-6 prop for the vertical pulling power.
