I have a foamie Cessna 182. (Art-tech)Its very sensitive to rudder input, and stalls very easily. I have been trying out different aiplanes on RealFlight G4.5. The rudder performs very different one the various models, all high wing btw.
Some just turns and turns, with no stall, like The Citabria and the FlyZone Cessna. Others stall very fast.
What can i do to my Cessna 182 to make less prone to stall during a turn?

A model is more sensitive to rudder input the slower it flys. The center of gravity balance point also tends to make a model more touchy to rudder as the balance is moved back. However, with your C182, it sounds like it may be rather underpowered, slightly tail heavy and perhaps too much rudder.</p>

Thanks for the input, you have made me confident that my suspiscions are correct.
I will try to correct things, and "report" back.

On short tail moment planes (short distance from tail to wings) the rudder will have more effect basically because it is pushing less airplane around. The citabria/decathlon has a lot of rudder authority and can get you in trouble if you're not easy on it.
