I wouldn't say "prone"

Well, it's like the engine in your car. It's easier to stall the engine when it's idling, right?

Sort of a question of inertia....and the mass of air being swallowed by the engine. The bigger the mass (higher power) the less likely to suffer a flameout.

Hope that makes sense.
