Within a few circuits, you should find that your feet become more "alive" than was required for trike u/c. You will gradually and subconsciously accept less and less deviation from centreline, correcting even the smallest error without realising it. (I now have a tendency to zigzag on landing with nosewheel types with sensitive steering)

Nailing the recommended short finals and threshhold speeds becomes very important. Once you can do this then you have repeatability of conditions at the flare and can begin to refine the landing.

Don't ever expect better than one good 3 pointer in ten!!!!
