This FMS (Famous) Models Cessna 182 Skylane RC Trainer is a complete Ready To Fly trainer package perfect for the beginner pilot to take to the skies! There is plenty for an experienced pilot to enjoy also.
The aircraft is quite big physically, and features large control surfaces making it agile enough for an experienced pilot, but still more than gentle enough for a beginner. Full elevator, rudder and dual ailerons on 4 channels (4CH) allows for precision flight control.
Aircraft is constructed from high quality, crash resistant EPO foam and includes all required electronics which are pre-installed at the factory.
Build time is extremely short - you can have the aircraft ready before the battery is finished charging. Features a steerable nose wheel for excellent ground control, tricycle landing gear to help avoid those nasty nose-overs when learning to land, independent aileron servos, brushless motor and ESC power system, LiPo battery and the large physical size helps to keep the aircraft oriented in flight. This is a great model to start flying on, or perhaps to learn to land on gears with, if you're used to belly landings.
The video shows the aircraft handling quite a few aerobatic maneuvers (rolls, loops, inverted flight etc) with ease. The aircraft used for this video is completely stock, with the exception of my radio gear which is a Spektrum DX7 tx and AR6100 rx.

Do you recommend this? I am looking for a plane that is 4ch, relaxing to fly and is bigger than the ultra micro planes.
I am experienced on simulators and other real 4ch planes and I think I am ready to take it to the next step. Do you think that this is suitable?

@olijay96 This is a perfect aircraft for what you want to do mate. The 182 is a very forgiving aircraft and capable of flying quite fast as well as great low speed handling even with the flaps deployed.

do you have to use rudder along with the aileron when turning?or you can turn by using only the ailerons.

@don021980 You can turn with the ailerons to turn just fine mate. Adding the rudder means you can make the turn look a lot nicer but you don't have to.
