Hi Machinbird,

Thanks for the link - but I think you mean "Lift does not suddenly dissapear post stall but follows a variable path toward zero lift at ~ 90 degrees angle of attack."

Previous posters have suggested that if the stab angle of attack is about 45 degs (around the second lower peak of CL), then changing the angle would merely reduces the lift on the tail (hence aircraft nose would rise).
