Only three things cause any given wing in any given configuration to stall:

1) Angle of attack

2) Angle of attack

3) Angle of attack

Absolutly nothing else will. So think 'AoA' when you fly, not speed, and all will be well (aeros will teach you that). The most significant instrument missing from the average GA panal is an AoA indicator - there's plenty of stuff on the Chippie's panel I'd gladly swap for one.
