Hi,
Yes it will work. Here is what you will have to do.
1. open up the device and you will find there will be three potentiometers, for toe brakes and rudder. They may have only two wires. If so you will have to add the third one.
2. Identify the two ends of the pot and the wiper.
3. On the Bodnar board connect one end of the pot to +5v and the other end to gnd
   they are marked on the Board.
4. Connect the wire from the wiper to mid pin on the Bodnar board(between the plus    and minus connections.
NOTE: Make sure you identify the Wiper of the pot and it must go to the Centre pin
            of the axes input.
5. Do the same for the remaining Potentiometers.

See here for a drawing.
