This is the video that I took while testing my crude wind vane to get some idea of how much movement would be expected leading up to a stall. I intended to do it last night, but when I looked at the video of the GPS speed, I about convinced my self that I had not stalled after all. I really had run it until it began to burble, and saw no need to go any further than that. Then when I saw that the GPS speed was 40 MPH, I was confused until I realized that I was doing my stalls down wind, and the ASI was showing 29 MPH. I guess that is the reason they say that the stall speed can change, but the Angle of Attack will not.
It was too windy to fly today, but I have changed out the vane and replaced it with a 12 inch piece of yarn. I will mark it where I expect it to stall, and by lengthening it, the ability to see when it will stall will be at least doubled by the longer piece of yarn.

Thank you for doing that. Finished the winter maintenance on the MKIII, did a couple test flights and am now airworthy again, however my AOA meter is still sitting on the work bench awaiting the arrival of the gauge itself. So your comments have given me an idea of what baseline alignment ought to be.

Forget about ground speed when flying, except to calculate your ETA back to the barn.
Easy to screw up turning base to final, near the stall, with a little tail wind. Perceived ground speed is high, air speed is low. That is why I continually cross check my ASI. Takes a split second to scan. Doesn't cost anything.

GPS ground speed is irrelevant to stall speed, just as it's irrelevant
to airspeed in general. Stall indicated airspeed changes with weight,
assuming a 1 G stall. (Stall *true* airspeed changes with density altitude.)
To see the effects of changing indicated airspeed at stall, get your AOA
working consistently and reliably, and fly a stall series with minimal
fuel and as light a payload as possible. Note the indicated airspeed and
AOA at stall. Then load the plane up with full fuel and max payload to
gross weight, and fly another stall series. You should see a higher
indicated airspeed at stall, but the same AOA.
(GPS ground speed can vary all over the map, depending on wind
speed/direction at that moment & your heading when doing the stall series.)
