There are times when hover power plus 25% is the only way to go, and other times when hover power is all you have.
and that's the truth. Sometimes I want to be up and away as soon as possible, and sometimes I'm in no hurry. Sometimes I want to be up and away quickly, and don't have the power to do it. Every takeoff is different, and each one demands a slightly different technique. You don't learn all you need to know in the first hundred hours, or the first thousand, or the first ten thousand, but the more you do it, the more you learn.
