This all bepends on the placement of the paperclip.

if it is on the front it creates drop and less lenth... but more speed

if the paperclip goes in the back it creates rise... butless speed

if you want more distance try making the area of the wings bigger! you can also make the folds more creased and ridged for stability (balance is key.. remember symetry!!)
