Planes I can make from printer/leaf paper that actually glide and fly. I can never successfully make a good plane.

If you want to make planes. You need perfection.
You either go foldable paper planes, or go big with constructing actual planes.
But if you construct it out of paper, you better be fucking precies. Any imperfections would make the craft spiral out of controll and hit the ground.
You can make very capable gliders out of regular a4.
Look up white wings and similar designs. Following the same fashion worka with a4. Something like glue sticks give second rate results, but superglue is preferable.
One can even make tight, thin cone fuselages using super glue that are quite strong.
Wings are of folded and glued spar inside a folded skin.
Go for very low aspect ratios if you want to fly indoors as this lessens gust response.
Try to be precise but minor imperfections are no issue as they can easily be trimmed out.

I should also add that it is very easy to make a fuselage of triangular cross section with a4 paper, and one that can be both glued or taped.
This ends up being very lightweight, simple but also strong. Also very easy to attach v tails to such a fuselage, and have the horizontal side mated to the wing. Pinch the nose in to make it more aerodynamically clean.
Here is a triangle cross section fuselage airplane I whipped up.
I didn't use any sort of plans, just eyrballed things - so its not as perfect as it could be.
I used note cards, a gluestick and superglue with a bit of tape to hold on a pen cap for weight
A few I've made this past week based off real designs

what about the traditional one? those always fly excellently, even if you're shit at folding like me
I don't remember what it's called but it's really standard, you fold the corners down and then fold the whole thing in half and fold the corners down again
