Englishal: Thank you for your kind reminders re the geometry of lift, it saves me from recalling it!

<To answer your ambiguous question, Anytime the AoA of the wing is near max, be it in a decent, a climb, S&L.....the wing is then generating the maximum possible lift that it can >

In S & L Lift = weight

Sorry to upset your theory, but lift is the same in S&L at the stall or at max speed. You constantly confuse CL with lift, they are not the same thing.

CL is at a max just prior to the stall in a conventional wing. I do not dispute that! The subtlety of the question has evaded you!

Bookworm:

Not sure I've heard it described this way before, ie referring such factors to 'g'. The tailplane rotates the ac about its c of g into a climbing attitude whereupon the lift vector has been rotated 'backwards' by the same amount. Sin6 degrees is about 0.1 so 10% of the upwards force is due to thrust, 90% due to lift
