- Nickmaxwellproducts.com https://nickmaxwellproducts.com/o-s-engine-get-the-most-out-of-your-1-05/
[For several years I have wanted a place to share informational content I've learned from others, or developed myself through trial and error, with fellow heli pilots. Social media never seemed fitting for detailed explanations and documentation of "How-To's" and technical information. During the evenings with everything being closed recently due to COVID, I saw this as a fantastic time to make an "all in one" outlet in which I can post information I'd like to share and that helicopter pilots frequently ask at events. This will also be an e-commerce location that future NMP Products will be available for sale. https://nickmaxwellproducts.com/o-s-engine-get-the-most-out-of-your-1-05/]
