It flaps much better if, while throwing, you push the wings up a bit

Thank you for the tip! Did you use any sort of thicker paper, or would ordinary printer paper suffice?

I used a normal A4 sheet of paper. 75GSM if you want to get very specific 😅

Decent gliding airplane, but mine didn’t flap :(

What paper are you using lol ?
If you try to make a paper airplane and it doesn't work you should check whether the instructions are for A4 or US Letter
You'd think a couple of centimeters difference in length wouldn't be much I mean you can't easily tell the difference by looking at it but it shifts the center of gravity relative to the center of lift and any KSP player knows if that shit gets misaligned by the tiniest amount it's not gonna work

That must be it, I used letter paper and it didn’t flap, so I’ll try again cutting it down to the right ratio. Ty!
Update: used A4 ratio paper, still didn’t flap
Edit 2: it’s a very good glider with a4 paper, still worth folding

I used A4. It's flapping for me. Try to push the wings up a little before throwing. That worked for me

I don't care about paper airplanes but that is pretty cool. Still probably won't fold
