My previous post was just plain wrong; formulas were for a
center of pressure under 1/3 chord, such as ironically
NACA 23000 series of airfoil.
For center of pressure over 1/3 chord the fixed sum
airloads on airfoil is as illustrated below.
The center of pressure at Cl 0.2 (0.717 chord) is
far to aft and over the wing chord that's make
the calculus at this point erroneous.
So if you have an idea for that (Cl 0.2 limit
and acceptable center of pressure/wing chord
ratio) you're welcome to share it.

to use the results for actual design purposes are done at the user's own risk.
