The pilot acquired a two-seater ultralight, which he reassembled himself before making his first flight, alone on board, without any knowledge of ultralight flying in general or flying this one in particular. After take-off facing north, during the crosswind turn, the pilot lost control of the ultralight. Being at a low height, he was unable to regain control of the ultralight and avoid collision with the ground.
