Lone Ranger, please read my post above. Stalling is not directly related to airspeed. Because of that, such an IAS indication is meaningless. Wing loading will affect the indicated stall speed, so pilot and pax weight come into it, and fuel weight. And of course if you're in a balanced turn (so G loading becomes a factor) you can forget the IAS / stall relationship.

AoA is ALL the wing knows about as far as stalling is concerned. It never varies for a given configuration (flaps etc), regardless of loading.
