You can do it like the pioneers did. The plans for those old school designs are still around. They were essentially free flight planes with a little rudder control added in to make them steerable. Pilots needed the knowledge on how to set up a free flight plane to fly well first, then they could do the mods for adding the single channel rudder.
Giving us a bit of your history was helpful. I can tell you that your problem is that you don't have flying skills. That may seem obvious enough, but it does dictate how you proceed from here. If you've already wrecked 6 airplanes due to pilot error, then you need an instructor. Some people can figure this stuff out on their own, but most learn a lot faster with an instructor. An instructor will show you how to get out of sticky situations and how to avoid getting into them in the first place. He'll teach you how to land properly. A good one will also teach you how to do a proper pre-flight inspection so that a mechanical problem doesn't crash you. For what you've already spend on wrecked planes, you could have paid for a couple of years worth of membership in your club and gotten the training you need. It's a common beginner mistake to consider club dues or even training fees as wasted money that could have been spent on more planes. The whole point of this hobby is to fly, so your skills are where you should be investing your time and money at this point.
You asked about the planes I mentioned. The Mini Telemaster is a stable, fairly slow flying plane that's been around in various sizes for decades. It's a lot like an Apprentice without the gadgets. It has served as the primary trainer for many RC plots, but you still need someone showing you what to do. The Blue Baby is slower and more floaty, not as good in the wind but more gentle and forgiving on calm days.
