Question

How do I stop the plane from spinning?

Community Answer

Make sure the wings are not folded on the edges, if they are folded it will spin.
Question

How can I stabilize the paper plane so that it stays in the air for a longer time?

Community Answer

Make folds in the wing. Down works best. Also make longer wings, but you have to throw gently.
Question

Why does it always spin and come back to me?

Community Answer

It is probably dynamics. Try to throw it into the wind rather than against it. If that doesn't help, remake your airplane and see if the second version is better.
