From: "jetboy" I always felt the "bunny hops" method that permeated the ultralight scene a couple of decades ago was an accident waiting to happen - agree with John Bolding and others do not try this on a 701. I did a few high angle low speed runs to get the feel with the nose high so I had confidence in the rudder, brakes, pitch vs. power setting. I had a lot of experience with handling a C150A in these conditions so I taxied this way until my flight permit came thru. It is difficult work, much harder than flying normally. Particularly with the 701 there is a marked pitch up effect at liftoff which although harmless is surprising to the unwary until you get used to not holding the stick too hard back.... and landing the pitch changes with throttle settings in summary its best not to try and learn all this body language close to the ground and best keep them as separate operations.
