Good question Bill, i am not really sure if it can be flown without the fastback.

I would expect the plane could be flown without the fastback, but there would be an increase in drag and increased fuel consumption so i am not sure why you would bother ??. I think the plane would look pretty ugly with the back missing and i am sure the fastback and the fabric adds some strength to the whole structure.

Thanks Michael? X-Air Australia
