G'day Mate,
As an Instructor myself, I agree whole heartedly, with you suggestions.
In our club we have a fella who used to have all the trouble in the world landing his trainer, trike gear setup, he has changed it to a taildragger, & bingo, he lands as sweet as a nut, almost every time, he could not get the hang of raising the nose enough, to stop it from landing on the nose wheel first, now he can land level, on the main wheels, slightly nose down, problem solved.
He never had any trouble taking off, just the final flair for touch down.
