There was not a lot of difference in the stall characteristics of the two aircraft. If anything 106L had a little higher stall speed. 335DF has winglets and stalls pretty much straight ahead with adequate prestall buffet. I think the extra three feet of span may help in landing as the aircraft settles very nicely with power pulled off just short of the numbers. Incidentally, that is not the factory recommended method of landing the aircraft. I was taught properly (Sorry Charlie). As has already been suggested, the winglets look good, and they make a great place to install landing lights.
