Besides patterns and landing practice, you can do slow flight, stall
recognition and recovery, and steep banked turns. Most important, I
don't think any of the instruction would be counter productive.

There's possibly one item. One of my club's members added a PPL after
he'd soloed in gliders. He said he had a lot of problems until he
realised there is a fundamental difference that creeps into instructing:
in gliders we nail airspeed and don't much care about height, while power
pilots are taught to nail altitude (thanks to the quadrant rules) and
never mind airspeed variation.

I must say that, when I bought a ride in a Tiger Moth a couple of years
ago I found myself flying the ASI and ignoring the altimeter - and also
automatically heading for the juiciest cloud on track.
