Starting a flight schools with ultralights

Hi everybody
This is my first post in Pprune altough I have been reading it for a week or two now.
I am flight instructor, I flew in the US, in Naples Air Center, for over a year back in 2001 and then I came back to Argentina.

I am in the process of stablishing a school using ultralights. We will not be aiming to people who want to become commercial pilots but to those who want to fly for fun. Latter we may get a C-152 or something like that for those who want to get a Private or Commercial pilotsīs license. But for starters we will just use an ultralight in a grass strip a few miles from Buenos Aires.

I was wondering if you have any ideas about it. I donīt know much about ultralights, most of my 1500 hs were done as an instructor in C-152 and C-172, but my partner has over 8000 hs with most of them in ultralights. We both love to fly and teaching other people to do it. So I think it will be fun (and profitable, of course).

Cheers
