I wouldn't read too much into what the wing does on an individual aeroplane. There are so many rigging and minor profile variations which influence stalling behaviour (not to mention pilot handling techniques myths and legends) that to generalise often is not very useful.

For instance, I always thought that the Chieftain was a docile staller .. until I did a full flap test stall post mod in a particular example and found myself inverted quite quickly ....
