I'm surprised the rear end of the fuselage was an open skeleton instead of being covered like the wings and tail. Wouldn't that significantly interfere with the airflow?

It does, but this airplane is so light that it would also upset the balance, even a little weight that far back has a huge effect on where the center of mass is.
