How can readers be prevented from simply passing on the pdf file?
This cannot be prevented. The team of AUFWIND-international trusts in the honesty and loyalty of the modellers to use their pdf file only for their own use. Furthermore, the pdf file also only makes sense for those who already receive the AUFWIND magazine by post.
Who makes the new AUFWIND-international?
AUFWIND-international is made by Philipp Gardemin. He has been editor-in-chief of the German magazine for 25 years and is himself an active model pilot and model builder. The translations are done by a professional translation agency. Experienced modellers check and correct the technical terms.
Wasn't there AUFWIND-worldwide before?
Yes, AUFWIND-worldwide appeared in 2009 and 2010 with a few issues. Unfortunately, the costs for translation, printing and mailing were too high. The organisational effort to send two issues together was also clearly too high. The project then had to be discontinued due to the high losses.
