Below is a post from Uli Streich with Vario Germany. He is wanting to clear up some rumors that have been going around:

Dear VARIO Customers

It has come to our attention, that someone has started a rumour, that VARIO Helicopter Germany was going to replace its current importer, East Coast Scale Helicopters.

This could not be further from the truth. Since East Coast Scale Helicopters has taken over the importation rights to our helicopters, we have had only positive comments from many modelers about their
experience with East Coast.

We also know that with the amount of product which East Coast orders on a regular basis, that a customer in the US, or Canada, is not waiting long for any parts or kits, such as was the case with the past importer.

Statements from the past importer telling customers that VARIO was always out of stock, was not the truth. VARIO Helicopter Germany
has distanced ourselves very far away from the past importer of our product, and we would never have our name associated with a business, which has caused so much harm to the modelers in the helicopter community.

We welcome any comments from modelers, and hope that this statement takes care of any rumours now or in the future.

Sincerely yours

Uli Streich

Don't know why someone would start a rumor about Vario East and Joe Howard.
Joe taking over the Vario import/distributorship here in the USA. Is the best thing that could ever have happened for Vario here in the USA. Before Joe took over the Vario line here in the USA. I would say there existence in the USA was on thin ice.
Joe Howard does a great job, his customer service and knowledge are top notch.

I can only guess where this rumor might have originated.
Thanks to Uli for setting the record straight.

If Joe Howard is to blame for anything it is for saving Vario in the US!!!
I have just switched to Vario, as some of you know, and the thought would not have crossed my mind if Josef at Airstar was still the importer.
Uli made a perfect choice in Joe and East Coast Scale Heli's... You just won't get better service.
The great thing about Vario is you don't need much customer service, But Josef screwed that up from the start, I don't need to finish a Heli and wait a month or two for a radio tray and a set of blades just to get it flying!!
Imagine finishing your new Gasser and then having to wait a couple of months for the parts YOU ALREADY PAID FOR!!
These are one of the most expensive heli's out there, and if you can't spend your money with confidence, they won't sell many.
Vario's would be alot more popular if Uli would have done this sooner.
Kudo's to Joe Howard as he has turned this all around.
Thank you Uli, Thank you Joe, I could not be more happy with my Acrobatic or your service.
Keep it up, the orders will come
