    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.
