Same set-up with me, and it is accurate to a couple of Knots. Only damage was the day when I overshot the runway and banged one of the lights of the runway threshold.

You would almost have to crawl under the plane to do damage. To date, no one has even bent the unit, let alone break it. And as I stated earlier, it seems to be very accurate.
