How To Make An "Electronic Warfare" Tail For Your Paper Airplane

This is an "electronic warfare" tail I developed for better stability and lift on paper airplanes.

A tailplane is an important part of most all aircraft. And although some specialized aircraft like flying wings and paper airplanes avoid the requirement of having a tailplane, adding one can make your plane look cooler, and in some cases even improve performance greatly.

Electronic warfare aircraft, like the USAF EF-111A Raven, and the USN/USMC EA-6B Prowler have pods on their tailplanes which house antennae. These pods resemble--looking front-to-back, or vice versa--pine trees. 

How cool would it be to have an "electronic warfare" paper airplane? Well, this is how to add this very cool accessory.

To show you how to make this conversion, I will build off of a Super Dart paper airplane to make the 'EF12-1' Super Dart.

Step 1: Materials

Required:
1 prebuilt, untaped paper airplane (a Super Dart pictured)
Scissors
Tape
Optional:
Pencil

Can you explain so I can make it clearer?

well u say to fold the paper down and then fold it down again and i do that but then i dont end up with the correct tail. i just a bent stabilizer were the electronic warfare pod should be.

Are you sure you aren't doing both sides' steps on one side?
