I have tried this. I got crushed by many of the paper planes.
I would have a hard time tossing a crumpled paper ball further than a good paper airplane would go.
A good plane required mathematical precision, not fanciness. In theory they take about a minute to make. The son did not make a mathematically precise plane.
Gotta crumple it as tightly as possible. A loose paper ball isn’t gonna go anywhere but a tight one will go far. It’s all about maximizing cross sectional density!
I won’t my paper airplane competition several times in grade school. I was a G. It went way farther than a tightly balled up piece of paper.
Yeah, this guy hasn’t seen many paper airplanes apparently

Alas, that isn’t flying, and my punk ass would have explained exactly that to my dad.
However, my punk ass would also refuse to agree with my kid if they did, because you gotta stick with the bit, or it was a waste of time.
Dad joking is serious business
