thanks guys. so at 90 degrees, the centre of pressure must be at half chord then? as Cp is the point where all moments sum to zero, so if the wing is at 90 its acting like a sail, so in the middle of the chord line is where the moment from the top half will balance the moment from the bottom half?
so therefor after stall, Cp is approaching half chord as the wing tips upwards?
