DIY T-rex 450 Canopy for Aerial Videos

The original trex canopy wont fit with my video camera installed, so I decided to custom build one. The new canopy is built with 3mm foam and thin plywood. It is light so additional flying weight is not my greatest concern. I'm more worry on if the dull shape of the canopy would create massive drag when air is pushed down from the rotor. The weather is bad out there so I could not test flight it yet. Can't wait to see my t-rex flying with this cool silly looking canopy!
