no creaze...it is not about staying clear of the stall speeds

the stall is the protection that keeps the structure intact

the stall is the safety valve


VA is all about the stall protecting the structures.

simple question...would you rather stall and be able to recover from the stall or would you rather not stall and have the plane fall apart.??????????

a lighter plane stalls at a slower speed (more complicated, but lets leave it at that for now)...if you were going faster and imposed a higher load on the structure the plane would break apart rather than stall.
