It didn't really work that way for me. (Of course, I made no attempt to rush
things) Don't forget the law of primacy, there are some things that you have to
unlearn from gliders. Keep in your mind that landings in the pattern suddenly
become optional, a go-around is a whole new possibility to fit into your
decision making process.

Your instructor will not be amused by your first attempts at stall recovery.
He will insist that you use power, and you will wonder why.
