topic gone??

There was a thread running in Scale models, about micro-heli's.

Now there isn't.......

Can anyone shed any light on the subject please?

Ah yes I remember it - I even "watched it".

Had a picture of a helicopter in someones kitchen!

It was removed because the OP was continually posting up referral links to amazon.

I've asked to see if we can get the thread reactivated

[Matt172]

the thread is back now :thumbup

Thanks for putting it back

As far as posting links to Amazon, it's like e-bay, more of a market place for many than one specific vendor. Perhaps we should do a "BBC", if anyone posts a commercial link, then they put at the bottom......"Other helicopter vendors are available"

The amazon link would have been ok if it was just a link to the advert on Amazon, he was using the affiliate links which I believe means that if you clicked his link and then purchased the helicopter he would receive a small fee.

At least I think that is how the affiliate links work, basically it is seen as an advert and broke our posting rules, as he posted it for comercial gain

Fair enough, I don't understand this affiliate business, and was unaware of the OP's possible gain.

Thanks for putting it back
