reworking radio control for joysticks

does anyone know if its possible to replace the thumb sticks used on most hobby radios with a more traditional FIRST style joystick?

my thought here is to bypass the internal thumbsticks on a hobby radio and wire those connections directly to the pots on a more user friendly chFlight stick.

i'm thinking of ways to take advantage of the low cost hobby radios but still give my drivers a chance to simulate controls more similar to something we might build during the regualr season.
