Default Stalls - Angle of Attack versus Vstall

Not really. You're flying on inertia and prop thrust. You wing will provide
lift with the lift vector horizontal, but when your speed decays to zero,
even though at that point the wing is not providing any lift, it is not
stalled nor has it stalled at any point.

Consider vertical flight. You can have 0 airspeed and not be stalled.
Hope the plane's built for tailslides, though.


So then your not flying on the wing your flying on the prop. This is more
like a rocket.
