Default Is Zero Indicated Airspeed Possible?

One more AS experience I just remembered.

A fellow pilot just finished completely rebuilding his A36. We agreed to a
test plan. After the static tests we moved to 6 high speed taxi tests on
the active rwy at RHV. We kept the tower informed before these tests via
phone as a courtesy. On the first HS run, the AS went backwards about 15
dgrees to a stop and stayed there. No big deal, we instantly knew the pitot
and static lines were interchanged. We competed the other 5 runs just to
liftoff and stopped each time with the AS going negative each time. We went
back, changed the lines around and finished the reast of our tests
uneventfully.
