Why are max range and best endurance numbers different?

@BloomingtonFPV Over simplified answer: Though you may be airborne longer when flying slow, though you may not be going as far...

Feels like flying a real aircraft now. So would 15mph be the minimum safe speed to land at?
@lukeritchiedesigns I think that 15 mph is a tad close to stalling. I should only be that slow right before touching down or with a lot of altitude. So far, the best max range speed is 20 mph, best endurance is around 18 mph.
