Hehe, I did the take off first time today! (did it for the second flight as well). First time was on a grass strip and the second time was on tarmac. To be honest, taking off on grass was probably easier as although its more bumpy and whatnot, it requires a lot less tweaking for it to go straight, meaning when you first select full-thrust for take off, you don't even have to kick the rudder right. Deliberately stalled today as well. Went over how to recover from a clean stall without using the engine and with the engine, while the are flaps down, while the engine is not idling (unlike clean stall) ect. 

I had a different instructor for my first flight (scheduled to have the same instructor until I finish). This had shown me how 2 instructors cared about very different things. One cares about keeping the altitude and heading very much while the other one cannot care less about it however, he cares about how you should be constantly trimming, doing HASELL/HELL every time you do a maneuver ect. 

I guess in the best case scenario, having both instructors would actually be best. Regardless of what other people say about "one flight instructor is best", although its true that it massively helps with progress, only having one means that what you end up doing is you may end up picking up potentially bad habits (or at least undesirable habits). However, if you had more than one (and they have completely different priorities), they would cancel each other out. 

Talking about the takeoffs and runways, there are three, one grass and two tarmac. 

As the three runways are oriented in a triangle, it does mean unless the winds are constantly over 20kts, as long as visibility and cloudbase is all fine, we can always take off. This does mean I've taken off in 15kts~ winds and done training in 20kts+ winds (with the instructor landing with a 20kts~ headwind ). Of course, I prefer to train in calmer weather (as the constant gusts makes trimming unnecessarily difficult) but to be fair, if you can fly in bumpy weather, you can fly in nice n calm weather whereas you may not be able to if its the other way round so I can't complain.

Sorry if its a little hard to follow. This is just a bunch of thoughts plastered onto a post so I guess its hard for me to organise it logically. Ah wells.
