I had a Triton. I used it once and destroyed a lithium pack I hadn't

OK. I stand corrected. I must be used to radios that use End Point
Adjustment, as compared to JR which uses Adjustable Travel Volume (more like
a Dual Rate). I guess it this way so that you can have opposite
differential in crow mode.
For what it's worth, I didn't see the End Point method listed
Differential. This helps correct the adverse yaw effect. Using end point
adjustment for your differential would only correct adverse yaw at full
aileron deflection.
