Far, far too much emphasis has been put on altitude loss in stall recovery. Forget altitude loss. Decrease angle of attack, get the aircraft flying, then look at altitude loss. Far more important to prevent exceeding critical angle of attack in the first place, but once its exceeded, minimal altitude loss is not the immediate concern; reattaching airflow to the wing with reduced AoA is, and often that's going to require altitude loss in the process.
Conventional gear aircraft teach about taxiing conventional gear aircraft. They're a bit less forgiving on alignment during landing, but beyond that, there's little magic in having the third wheel at the correct end.
