I think this is an awesome idea, so good job, SpeedAssault!

I, personally, can't stand stick radios, and have found myself wanting, needing, and wishing for a pistol-grip radio with more than 3 or 4 channels, especially fully proportional channels instead of just the typical on/off 2-position switches on the existing 3 & 4 channel pistol-grip radios on the market.

I have already done the custom Traxxas TQ3 mods to turn the 3rd channel into a fully proportional channel with a small thumb-wheel (for rear-steer on a crawler) and end-point pots for all three channels.

I have also just started working on a Traxxas TQ2.4Ghz 4-channel radio, with the intention of making the 3rd and 4th channels fully proportional, as well as with end-point pots on all four channels.

But, now that I have seen this thread, it's time to start doing a little research and customization! My goal is to fly 4ch, 5ch and even 6ch airplanes using pistol-grip radios! I am already flying 3ch and converted 4ch foamies with pistol-grip radios, but I want to fly *real* fiberglass and wood "air-foil, hard-wing" airplanes with pistol-grip radios, and maybe even single main rotor/tail rotor helicopters!

I am excited about this! ;)
