The FT corsair is a good one. How was the CG (center of gravity) on the other 9 planes? and don't feel too bad, you may not be a great pilot at the moment, but you'll become a better modeler everyday! Build, Fly (however brief), Crash (however epic), Repeat. Its the life of a Pirate Pilot First Class. It's not for everyone, but it is for me. Welcome aboard matty!

A la-7 the one on my profile picture but a this time is has a broken wing becouse my innexperience
No, warbirds are not easy to fly, they are built for maneuverabilaty. You will be better off learning to fly with a trainer, they are built for stability. When you learn to fly, then build the plane of your dreams.
First learn to crawl, then walk, then run.
The Tiny Trainer is an exclent first plane.

Make the trainer more twitchy one change at a time. Like move the CG towards the tail a teensy bit, bigger control surfaces scabbed on, bigger motors/prop combo.... eventually you get to the point where a warbird is tame compaired to the changes you made to the trainer then the transition is easy.
I agree with @Piotrsko.
Start by increasing the throws on the control surfaces 5 degrees or so and move the CG aft 1/4 inch. You will be flying a completly different plane. When you have mastered 1 round, try a bit more. After mastering the 2nd round try flying inverted. When you can fly inverted across the field, you will be ready for a warbird or any other plane you want to fly.

The cg on the other aircraft was a bit nose heavy and one tail heavy that was the first but after a lot of trying i cant get the plane up or just to turn i loose control my rc radio cant make so much becouse it is a cheap one 5 ch

Sounds exactly like my beginning story, If you really want a warbird, build the FT Swappable Mustang, it was the first plane I was able to get to work, very forgiving, just build light. And balance it a tad nose heavy compared to the plans.

I see. that does present a problem. Have you range checked your radio and receiver? If not remove the prop for safety, turn everything on, set the plane on the ground and walk a good distance away and activate your control surfaces. have a friend watch them for you if you cant clearly see them. if you see studders or unintended movements you may have some interference issues. thats just a technical place to start. good luck and keep going! it is soooooo worth it!

Full sized, it is very forgiving.

Josh Bixler has said the FT spitfire is a good starter. Also @Mr Man said that the FS FT Mustang was his first plane (I think) and I must say it is east to fly!
