Default throttle channel use mandatory?

ok, i have an unusual question. RC Gods, please be gentle. . . (the following DOES pertain to fpv!)

do i have to use channel 3(or whatever channel, im looking to move up in radios, still applicable to the spirit of this post) on a futaba 6 channel receiver as the throttle channel? my thinking is that i could use the left stick for pan and tilt of camera and use a dial for the throttle. if not inherently possible, is there a workaround? they are just potentiometers, yes? so with a switch of the wire from throttle stick to a knob, could it be done?
