Default RE: CG and Stall Speed

Airspeed has nothing to do with it. It will stall when the critical angle of attack is exceeded.

As for flying the plane, a more rearward CG will let the nose be lifter higher by the elevator during slow flight. A nose heavy plane will stop flying at a higher airspeed simply because it can't keep the nose up any longer, but this in not a stall.
