WRONG.  You guys know that I'm not one to criticize other's opinions just
because they don't agree with mine, but this one is a dangerous
misconception. Just plain incorrect.  I won't start teaching the ground
school here but I'd surely advise IIP to get some training and learn that
holding a particular airspeed...ANY airspeed... is not and can not be stall
protection.

Like some of you, I've stalled at TAS's above 400 kts.
