Combat planes were wild things. They also were easy to build,
thankfully. They had no fuselage; all wing and elevator.

That yellow battery powered one that HF sells actually flies pretty

I never did it that way myself, but I think that was it. I know they
glued a string to the top and held it up with a long stick until it
was ready to fly.

My grandmother owned a florist's shop, so my dad had an endless supply
