Of course Runaway Gun has it pretty right and PDR1 gets onto the issue of the real stall speed with g loading.

Esp with high powered prop airplanes the stall speed at full throttle is lower than power off per the published stall speeds. I had some accurate data recording equipment in a Pitts some years ago - achieved limit load factor of 6 at a speed significantly less than Va by abrupt aft stick movement.
