Now, how about a little spin on the topic to shed a bit more light to our matey (and to several others of course, including myself).

Why does increased G force also increases stall speed?

Reading some of my notes, I found/concluded that, since you are maintaining more than 1G, you maintain that G force by pitching up i.e., high angle of attack; so you are already limited by means of angle of attack to provide more lift, given that if you increase the angle of attack even further you would approach the CLmax quicker than if you were flying at unaccelerated flight (1G).

Am I right?
