No, the little airspeed indicator on the wing said zero - due to the

Without passing judgement on the performance you've
stated, I'll say that with a screwdriver and maybe
a sharp knife or tubing cutter and maybe a little
duct tape I can make *any* pitot-static based
airspeed indicator read zero at *any* airspeed.
Indicated airspeed tells you little if anything
asbout what the airplane is *really* doing.
