Alll very true... but from what Ive noticed, IAS and turn rate when well away from ground rarely leads to stalls. Turning in close sight of ground and where wind gradient may exist is different... this is the regime of low speed and low altitude flight, and tight turns in gradient winds... gliding, microlighting etc.
