No, I did not see him. I positioned the aircraft so that I could see

others
approaching.


First, you claim you were positioned to see aircraft approaching the runway.
The aircraft was approaching the runway. So either you are incorrect about
how you positioned your plane, or you are incorrect about whether you saw
the guy.

Nobody can see a plane that comes in from behind or is below the tree

line.

Second, your story makes no sense. You've got an ultralight too slow to fly
with the other aircraft in the usual pattern, but so fast that it can make
it from the trees to the runway in the few seconds it takes for you to taxi
onto the runway, and so fast that it can't even manuever to go around once
the pilot sees you violating their right-of-way.

That's one fast (but slow) ultralight.
