I didn't find the takeoff any thing unusual, just followed the Vr recommended speed in the POH, although if it is your first experience of a side stick, over-rotation had to be watched. As the side stick is not vertical with ailerons neutral, you do need to check where the stick is for the neutral position.
Stick to the numbers and the landing is easy. Excess speed will lead to a long float I suspect as the flaps didn't seem to be very draggy.
