FLAPS LEVER CONNECTION: 100k LINEAR ROTARY POT WITH OC MASTERCARD?

Hi,

I am having problem making the flaps lever on the throttle quadrant.
I had originally broken up a joystick and used the linear sliding pot to be connected to the flaps lever, but somehow damaged it in the process.

I have a store bought 100K linear rotary pot, can I hook it up to the joystick pcb board where the sliding pot is? Or can I hook it directly to my mastercard input?

Thanks for your help,

Taufeeq
