Can someone please help me with this?

Explain why a paper airplane that's light weighted causes it to be able to fly farther than a heavier paper airplane using one of the forces of flight: lift,weight,drag, or thrust.​

The paper airplane will be able to fly farther as the drag force acting on it will be very less because of its weight. The drag always works in the opposite direction of the object to where it is moving.
