Go out to your local training area, and do some stalls. Really take notice of whats happening (if you have some SCT cloud above even better for vis ref)
Power to idle
Maintain height with steady app of BP
eventually you will have a..
High nose attitude and You will start to gently yaw left (usually stopped with rudder-clouds as a backdrop help to see this)
Low and reducing airspeed
Reduced control effectiveness
5-10kts above the stall-Stall warning
Control buffett around the stall(high wing or low wing will determine exactly when this happens)
CoP moves rearward, nose drops and if you do absolutely nothing the aircraft will try to recover.
In the app config the stall occurs at a lower nose attitude and tends to be stronger stall with the possibility of a WD, and the vast majority of wing drops are to the left.(why?higher power setting, lower airspeed)
I cant find any written evidence as to why the stall is designed on the left wing, but I doubt it is due to left CCTS.
Id say it is more to do with aerodynamic issues approaching and during the stall as most SE AC have a tendency to yaw left at low speed due slipstream/torque (yes it still has an effect at idle particularly at low speed).
A number of AC if they have electric stall warning will share same circuit as pitot heat and or lights(usually on the left as well) Although this seems less of a deciding factor, but then again a lot of twins are the same with the vanes on the left?....
