If you have never been turned down for a medical you could fly under light
sport aviation. Basically a 40's plane like a Cub (almost all without
electrical system) or one of the new ones for about $80K. The big issue
for light sport is a maximum gross weitht of 1320 pounds. With a couple
of rare exceptions, all aircraft in the US with an electrical system are
over this weight.

Nearly ALL of the new breed (modern designs) of LSA have FULL electrical
systems, with many even having equipment for night flight, and some having
equipment qualifying them for instrument flight. I would not consider that
"a couple of rare exceptions," in any measure of the term.

Most of the old designs that meet the LSA weights are pushing weight with
full electrical systems, but some still do have them.
