I would suggest that animals that had only a tip fan on their tails could be more likely than others to have hindlimb wings.

Plus, I forgot to add that *Shenzhouraptor* (including *Jeholornis*) has such a tip fan, but so far no "hindwings" have been found. Osteologically the animal does not appear flightless...
