Had all three you described. the kind with balsa frames and the paper covering could be made to fly for several minutes if you were careful with the build and adjusted the flaps for a slow but sure climb.

The cheapest ones I used to get would first break with the wings splitting lengthwise. We would reassemble them with pieces of the split wings. We would then reassemble with shorter , thinner wings until eventually the wings would be too short to give any lift.
