If you have not flown an ultralight before the thing to remember is there is no mass, weight to keep you going when landing and pulling off the power, and that big prop at idle in a giant brake wanting to slow you down to 12-16 MPH, well below stall. The actual take off and flying will be similar to most other light aircraft, take off will be faster and climb will feel slow. Do lots of taxi practicing under variable conditions, speeds, winds etc. When practicing high speed taxing there is a fine line between tail up and flying, if tail will come up it will fly and is you are light, a slight head wind the tail does not even need to come up, it will just fly off. Once you get it it the air do not hall stick back because if you have the nose up it will not climb, unless you have lots of power and pilot is not very heavy. When it gets into air basically level out over runway will the full power and accelerate to 45 or 50 and it should climb, unless stick if pushed forward. I do not recommend landing with power off until you get the feel of machine. Best way to land is to fly down parallel to run way with low cruise power and level out, ease main gear onto runway and stabalize, then pull power off. Do not make first flights with cross wind because when tail will no longer stay up it likes to turn into wind, not fun on first few flights.
