It's unlikely to happen in my case . There's just so many things to overcome, the biggest if which is insurance. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to insure a plane that's been knocked up in someone's garage. Finding a lightweight yet powerful enough engine is still a huge problem facing people trying to go the SSDR route. Rotax seem to have cornered the market but their two strokes are notoriously unreliable and their four strokes start at £15k!! And they're still relatively heavy for a SSDR.
But never say never. The British hang glider pilots association membership apparently covers SSDR now so you never know.
