This is bugging me so much, I am going to climb to altitude and test
it myself next time I fly.

It will be good practice anyway. The problem will be that the
airspeed indicator isn't that accurate at those slow speeds but it
should be equivalent in both level and descending flight stall breaks.
The hard part will be maintaining a constant descent rate while in a
steep bank and not letting it wander up and down.


Doesn't matter if it's correct or not, you'll reap huge benifits form this
sort of experimentation in the experience you'll get flying that close to
the edge.
