I want to get airborne with as little building involvement as possible.
The cheapest way. And with little maintenance as possible.
What are the possibilities?

I mean building a gerobee could take years and lots of money and this
rotax motors are 'spensive.

Building a wooden woodhopper could be fun and take lots of hours or
maybe years and lots of scrap wood.

There is also a storage concern, takeoff space, transportation of the
aircraft.

Maybe powered paragliding is the easiest way to get closer to the
skies?

Any hopes and/or ideas?

Powered Paragliding (paramotor) is great. I'm a Paraglider and Powered
Paraglider Pilot and I own a plane as well. For me the biggest buzz is
unpowered paragliding. You take your aircraft out of a back pack and set it
up, run off a nice mountain and catch some thermals to cloud base. As your
skills progress, you can fly for several hours at a time and cover many
miles without an engine (just like the birds do). For no hassles go
anywhere fast flying, my plane is best and I love flying it almost as much
as my paraglider. Paramotoring is fun but once you have grasped the basics,
there is not much of a challenge. I recently sold my paramotor as it was
not getting any use after purchasing my plane. I would give paragliding a
go for absolute adrenalin rush and bird like flying.
