Default Will this still fly OK?

I mounted my kids little Flip digital recorder on top of the wing on my 60 size Ultra Stick. As you will see in the pictures it blocks a lot of the vertical stab. How bad will it effect the way it flys? I know it will be more drag and it my cause it to pitch up some. I don't plan on full throttle low passes just a low power flight around the field and catch a little video of the local area. It is mounted in foam and taxi test around the yard the vibration isn't too bad although the mic picks up all the wind noise from the prop and not much engine noise. I just wanted some input before flying it.
