Howdy,

  I just got some slide pots for flight controls (these: http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?handler=displayproduct&lstdispproductid=210527&e_categoryid=316&e_pcodeid=03121 ) 
but didn't notice until they arrived that they had four solder lugs. I'm used to the 3-terminal kind. After checking with a multimeter, it 
looks like these have two grounds, sound right? So what exactly is the "right" way to wire up these guys? Ground both terminals?

Sorry for the dumb question, new territory for me. :)
