No such animal. Any and every airplane (even an ultralight) needs proper flight instruction. Ultralights generally need less flight instruction than say, a Piper Arrow or somesuch, but you need to get a sufficient amount of training to safely fly your particular type of aircraft. Nobody but an instructor can tell you if you're good enough to fly an airplane by yourself.
No matter what your budget is, factor in money for flight training. For ultralights, go see the USUA web page (
www.usua.org) and look for your local clubs and instructors. They should be able to give you a figure for which you can budget.
