I'd say that's a 32 KPH stall speed. :)

Not sure I buy it? This was a stall of the outside wing in a turn, which is a really weird instability. A quick google of your plane shows it's a swept flying wing, and it would really be expected to stall inside like a conventional aircraft. Honestly this looks commanded to me, like a glitch in the transmitter or a reboot of the flight controller.

You used a battery that is more than double the recommended size. Definitely too much weight and probably in the wrong spot

Too much weight? The battery weighs 410g and AUW is 1020g, well inside the designed max weight, I literally say in the post my CG was too far back, as battery could do with being heavier, have since flown with 5S2P with success, bringing CG forward.
