Static Balance

Every AOA sensor I've seen on ground has been full stop down (neg AOA), which indicates no static balance. Don't believe I've ever seen one in flight.

I don't know a lot about AOA vanes, which I why I asked for someone really knowledgeable to speak up. You can peruse pix on airliners.net to get a good sample.
