Default XG8 and XG11 Size

Hello guys.

Let me ask a stupid question (not so stupid for me).

I was wondering about xg8 and xg11 size related to a dx6i or a common turnigy 9x.

Are they bulky?

I have been searching for a lot of pictures but I am having a hard time to know if those new JR will fit my hands.

I really don't like bulky TX. Sticks takes forever to travel, at least for my hands.

Thank you guys.

The XG11 is slightly bigger than the XG8. Relative to other TX's they are really the same size, maybe smaller than a DX8. The grips on the side are really nicely sculpted to fit even smaller hands. The stick lengths are fully adjustable like all other radios. Go to your LHS and feel one before you purchase.

Well, the finish feels plastic to me. However, it does feel pretty durable. I'm pretty sure that there isn't any titanium in the finish, at least not enough to tell without any special tools (just using a fingertip and eyeball). I don't really need my radio cases to be metal. I use a neck strap and I'm very careful in general.

I've yet to see any other finishes besides the one I have.
