I've made a variant of the "tailed plane" for years--its one of my favorites. What's interesting to note on that one, I don't generally throw it normally like other paper airplanes. Instead, I place the front of the plane facing my hand, with my index finger and ring finger on either side of the nose, and my middle finder inside the crease of the nose. Then you just do an overhand fling, loosening your fingers about 2/3rds of the way through he arc. All the folds at the nose, makes the nose heavy, so it turns around and flies nicely.
