I bought a new one a few months ago, and it was off by 8% on one end (I think it was low on the high end,or it may have been the other way around). I'd leave it alone until you fly, because your pitot/static system may need exactly what you have. My first one was off by 52% (see http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/airspeed_calibration/ ) so I wouldn't feel too bad about that if I were you. At any kind of altitude, it's going to read low on the high end of the scale anyway...
