How much stability does a vertical surface at the end of a fin impart? An example of what I am talking about would be the Jay Hawk rocket.

I am trying to model a new design this in Open Rocket with small vertical fins like this, but it doesn't look like it is supported. I am thinking I could add a fin of an equivalent stabilizing effect to the body, but my Google-Fu is failing on how much effect it would have.
thanks
