The airpseed indicator could certainly be marked that way

assuming the extensions add any lift at all. Stall speed for *both*
wings is important.
Forget "stall speeds." A given airfoil stalls at a given AOA. Period.
Loading, airspeed, aspect ratio have nothing to do with it.
Get an AOA indicator and fly that.
