The Tail Fin is a winglet with a marginally small amount of lift and drag. It is usually used in conjunction with a control surface like the elevon as it does not include its own control surface.

This tailfin has passed extensive modeling in our patented P.A.S system.(Paper Airplane Simulation). This fin has been blunted to prevent accidental dismemberment of installing technicians.
