RGB Status LED Seen from top of IRIS

I don't know about most IRIS owners but the external status LED that is located on the bottom of the battery compartment is a bit hard to see before launch. I decided to implement an idea to view the status LED from the top of the shell.

I drilled a hole in the top shell directly above the controller's RGB window and used a section of small hot glue stick as a light pipe. As you can see, it works nicely. Of course the glue stick was for proof of concept only. I have some 6mm light pipe coming for a permanent install.
