Radios, stick or pistol, building a cheap 6ch 2.4ghz pistol

Yeah, I'm kinda partial to stick radios as well, that's what I started with back in the 80's. My first wheel radio was an old Futaba box radio with a wheel on it.

The coolest thing with the above link, isn't so much being a pistol grip, but some of the customizations they are doing with the channels as far as mixing and switchs etc.
The link to the RCG thread, on one of the 250 pages is a link to software that looks to give programmability over mixing any of the channels.
So really with reading thorugh those, you could modify it and leave it in the stick case.
I've also thought for $50 you could bash two together for a 12 channel radio, 8 proportional channels and 4 on/off/multi position.

I think the price is right for bashing two together into one case but I can't see modifying the boards for 12channel reception. Those hobby kings are darn cheap.
