Just remember...you can stall at any airspeed, but always at the critical AOA. Using the AOA "gauge" is pretty helpful...a quick glance can let you know how close you are to your Vref speed and if you're getting close to a stall. As far as the F/S indicator...I never use the thing either...I'm going to make an attempt to try to start though. If it'll make my job easier, I'm all about it!
