this is what i call engineering {:)} :salute: :thumbsup: :bow:
well.. theoritically, if we scale up an RC model, it could become an ultralight and take in a person, but what about safety? You have a live human inside and not some Rx pushing the controls. How is this factored in the ultralights?

There are several companies that sell "kits" . So you can buy a kit, engine and avionics and build it all up in your home.
You need not be an engineer to do this, just need some skills and patience to get it right. Here are some links for those you are interested.

A huge list of kits - http://www.aircraftspruce.com/index.html
Also, just scaling an RC model will not make it an ultralight and take in a person. Reynolds number makes the the art of scaling difficult.
Also need a lot of engineering to make the structure airworthy and capable of flying safely
Let's bring this closer home. An aircraft for 90 K? Seems affordable to say the least.
Congrats!

Besides, the skills, material and tools required to build one, you also need to wade through the various regulations governing these crafts, build integrity clerances, airworthy clearance, regular inspections, and registration etc.
The above is true..... there is a maze of legal requirements to be met
and the expense of complying will probably triple your cost
and at every turn there are inspectors who need to be satisfied
