I'm looking for something fun to do and I thought building an ultralight under $500 was a good challenge and would be fun so I need to know would it even be remotely possible to build something flyable out of some scooter wheels, plastic sheeting, duct tape, bamboo, and pvc pipe that could carry at least 224 pounds? If it it is I need to know

A. What kind of engine/motor would I want?
B. How much would it cost?
C. How fast would it go?
D. How far would it have to go before liftoff?
