thanks for the reply

You've cleared up the query with moments but am I right in thinking that an increase in the angle of attack of an aerofoil will push the centre of pressure forwards ?

If the flaps are extended doesnt the extended chord line result in a greater AoA and thus CoP moving forwards, or does the fact that the chord line is longer giving you a larger pressure distribution push it back?
