I know how to put on the elytra wings, but I don't know to acually fly. I do know that you have to go to a high mountain or structure but once you are there, how do you start taking flight?

Of course, the simple way is to go to a high spot, jump off, then press space while you are falling. This activates the elytra, but you can use a firework rocket (crafted with a piece of paper on top of a piece of gunpowder) to boost you. Hold the firework rocket in your hand, and then right click (while the elytra is activated) to boost yourself.

Alternatively, if you can't find a good spot (mountain for example) then simple double-tap space with the elytra on and then right click while holding the firework rocket. (You need to be looking upwards for this to work).

By the way, a firework rocket activated with an elytra (in flight) will boost you in the direction you look.

All you have to do to fly with Elytra wings is jump, and then press space bar in mid-air.
