In an early lesson transitioning to powered aircraft from gliding, the instructor asked me to recover from a stall. Glider pilots (especially those who've come from the wood and canvas era) will know the standard recovery - stick full forward until airspeed builds to safe flying speed - the bit of wool taped to the windshield goes taut in the slipstream.
Try that in a Cherokee and you're looking at the cows getting bigger very quickly. "So you've done some gliding?", was the laconic comment from the instructor.
