Interesting Idea
That is why I was going to go with a 10-Turn Pot. It would be a lot more realistic and probably wont need any special gearing.

Well, I tried a 10-Turn 100K Ohm linear and it didnt work out. It was very jumpy and would not allow the trim to be adjusted properly. It was not smooth like I thought it would be but rather would tend to jump all over the place. Made for a wild ride! I tried calibrating it a number of times using both FSUIPC calibration as well as Windows but to no avail. $15.00 down the drain.
I ended up puting in a $3 Radio shack 100K Ohm Linear Taper 300 degree pot and it works perfectly. Obviously doesnt work identical to real thing but close enough. I may try gearing it down.
