looking good!

does it have the wing geometry to make it stable without the transparent fin?

Wow, looks amazing!

I don't believe so as the Eclipson build video does show a transparent fin. I will install an Aura 5 lite so maybe the fin could be removed,

I would suggest leave the fin on (any twist in the wing?) and if you are successful and got it tuned, then start trimming the clear plastic. Problem with all flying wings is that you need to solve the roll/yaw problem and reflex. I solved mine by using a "stabilizer" I designed.
