With all respect due, your "hand out the window" AoA car vane test was'nt done witht a -50 degre TAT.
However, I agree.
It's seems to me that AoA vanes effective range is plus or minus 50 degre
(AFAIR).
(and I am sorry coming back with Tarom 1994 event: the plane was stalling with a quite vertical attitude, but the recorded AoA was 'only' 45 degre. Sure, real AoA was out of range).
Best regards
