The stability stat actually has nothing to do with stalling. The AV-8B has stability rank of E at level one, but is capable of performing the same pseudo-VTOL manuevers that the ASF-X with a rank of C at level one. Both are able to stay flying horizontally and at extremely low speeds (sometimes under 100) while rapidly losing altitude. They both do so with the same general efficiency.

As mentioned before, stability has to do with responsiveness and irresponsiveness to the controls.
