      For a much harder challenge check out the spring loaded rocket gliders that a friend of Flite Test makes!
      These might give you some inspiration for how to maximize flight with a rocket motor. Generally it's straight up then float down spiraling as slowly as possible.

    Really old Bottle Rockets work well for paper airplanes. By old, I mean Bottle Rockets from 2-3 years ago that someone put in the Garage and forgot about. Older Bottle Rockets don't burn quite as fast, so it's more gentle on the paper airplane... This is what I learned going to college in Tallahassee, Florida.

    Tip to avoid making a flying flame: cover the exhaust with aluminium foil and fiberglass to isolate it from the fuselage

    I staple a penny at the C.G. of my paper airplanes within the keel fold. I also cut elevator control surfaces on the trailing edge to impart a slight pitch-up moment. When thrown by hand, these paper airplanes go through a series of gentle stalls, recovering easily from each one. The net effect is that it typically triples the free-throw range of the airplane.

    It should stull. Be possible to use a paper plane, just use a design that can fly at a lower speed that generates more lift. A "stunt" plane fits the bill as it would also be rigid enough for a motor. Then just trim to handle the extra speed of the motor.

    When I was a little kid, me and my brother added a 'howler' to a paper airplane, this howlers where indeed small rockets, constructed for the generation of a loud sound.
    We ignited the fuse and threw the plane, it was gliding fast and stable but we feared the fuse would be to long, than suddenly the howler started to work, the plane caught speed and went higher and higher, exactly like it should have been.
    Today they don't produce this howlers any more, they where like rocket without any stabilization and flew everywhere sometimes hitting persons nearby ...

    FWIW, you were probably also getting issues because putting the engine above the CG would cause a moment about the CG which would tend to nosedive the plane. A combination of your trimming and increased speed = more lift would have made some of them nose up though. Ultimately super unstable though, I would imagine.
    If you wanted to actually get this to work, the thrust vector has to pass *perfectly* through the CG without any offset. You can do that because the plane lets you put the engine in the fold, but the overall plane would be so lightweight that the CG would probably move significantly as the plane itself flexes during powered flight.
    You might try a wooden dowel of comparable weight attached to the front of the engine as a CG bias so that the the CG doesn't move as much. If you do that, just make sure to balance the dowel+engine combination *very* slightly behind the CG of the base airplane and you'd probably get better results.
