IMHO the important point to grasp is that stalling (in either the positive or negative sense) has no relation to 'G' as in gravity


Well it does. You cannot be stalled if you are completely unloaded - zero 'G'
Only because the wing is not beyond the crital AoA when completely unloaded (0 'G').

Push 'gently' to zero and it can't stall, shove hard, it will.
It's not a case of whether you push gently or shove hard; all that matters is when you push or shove, the wing will stall only if the critical AoA is exceeded. Stay the right side of the critical AoA, and it won't stall.

Of course we don't have an AoA indicator in our SEPs, which for aerobatic types at least is, in my book, a major omission.
