Stall speed is dependent on bank angle in a known manner, so if you know the stall speed in straight and level flight, there are charts that will show you the factor to multiply by to get your stall speed at various bank angles. My flaps help to lower my stall speed by about 6 mph, best I can tell, and with more deflection I can improve on that some. I guess the only time I stalled mine at full gross weight was with Glenda, and I wasn't watching the ASI when that happened! There's a nice chart in the middle of http://www.auf.asn.au/groundschool/umodule2.html that shows stall speeds for various bank angles, as well as a wealth of other information. Also see the links at the bottom of that webpage. That whole series of articles should keep you busy the rest of the day....
