Looks great, but from aerodynamic's point of view it is rather drag generator. It is really aerodynamically correct in front, but at the back you will have strong, probably unsteady separation, and as I suppose, your engine could sometimes overheat, cause its in "shadow" of canopy. Good thing you did, is a skewed back antenna.
So, next generation of your canopy should have smoother back as you probably seen in A-10 or F/A-18 canopies.
For anybody interested in making canopies like this at home, should check out videos regarding VACUUM FORMING AT HOME. You can make perfect clear cockpits and canopies & many other useful RC stuff... Its cheap to build... Check it out
cool idea

@mryellow123 looks like he has it angled down so it would seem more like he was "really" flying it.

Now it has protection... why not mount the camera on the bottom where it can see something other then the nose?

that must degrade the video quality big time

But anyway, great work :)

what is your video transmiter and reciever setup? what range does it has?
Im kinda noob on this things, and I wish to have a setup with like 1 - 2km of range.
I also have a 40mhz setup with 50-100m range stock, is it useful for anything?
thanks, thebeast :)
