A stall is dependent on airspeed, angle of attack (the angle of the wing to the relative wind over the wings), the aircraft configuration, and weight. A stall is not the big a deal--every landing in any aircraft is a controlled stall.
What makes a stall "bad" is that you need altitude to recover the aircraft. If you stall too close to the ground.....then bad things can happen.
Thanks for your expert perspective!
Bad things man, bad things.
