This is to allow the airplane to rotate when it is taking off. (Rotating is when the pilot pulls back, raises the nose of the aircraft, and the aircraft rises into the air). If the aircraft did not have this raised tail-end, a "tail-strike" would happen, which damages the aircraft.

How does one make a weather vane out of this medium size plastic airplane?
You got to find the exact centre of the plane where it is well balanced front and back in that position, then drill a small hole right through the model in that excat spot, then put a narrow spike that can be mounted on a long thicker piece of wood that can be stuck in the ground. As long as the spike or narrow pole going through the plane fits snugly - not too tight and not too loose the plane will move with the wind. Let me know how you get on !
