The forces at work in a paper airplane are the same ones at work on a larger plane. That's why engineers can use wind tunnels to test new airfoils and aircraft performance using scale models. You cant really "control" a paper airplane. Once it's out of your hand, it's on its own.
If you fold the typical Delta wing paper airplane, you can modify its flight behavior to some degree by slightly bending its "rudder" (the vertical part in back) and its "elevator" (the horizontal part in back). With differential bending of the "elevators" (one side up, one side down) you might be able to get your plane to do rolls.
Another modification you might try is adding a small bit of weight like a dime somewhere around the middle or just aft of the middle. (Don't put it too far back or it will stall.) Some people put paper clips on the nose. Have fun!

Does a hole affect a paper airplane?
The effect of a hole on a paper airplane would depend on the type of paper airplane the hole is on, and where it is on the aircraft.
Does the disign of a paper airplane effect it?

Farther than any other paper airplane that i know of
Who made the the first paper airplane?
Leonardo da Vinci made the first paper airplane
When was the paper airplane invented?

What in the independent variable in a paper airplane experiment?
In a paper airplane experiment, the independent variable is the factor that is being deliberately manipulated or changed by the researcher. This could be the type of paper used, the design of the paper airplane, the angle of launch, or the force applied when throwing the airplane.
Which flies paper airplane or foil airplane?
Paper, because it is much lighter, and a foil airplane will take up much more mass.
