Well that statement by Todd is not the complete truth. He is using partial truths and statements out of context.

First off full disclosure. I am a Kingtech demo pilot but I am NOT a PAID kingtech employee. I am someone on the east coast Barry can trust to help him out when needed and yes Barry is a very good friend of mine. I also love Dreamworks and always liked dealing with Todd and his staff and I love his one stop jet shop for everything. So I have no money to gain nor loose with this and no reason other then to be fully honest.

I can only talk about what happened when I was involved.

For me this all started at FLjets.Barry was unable to attend due to getting very sick the day he was supposed to leave for Florida. He asked me if I could handle the shippment of engines and kingtech oil for him since he was sick. I of course said no problem hes a friend. As most of you know the K210s are dealing with some issues with the fuel pumps. At FLjets Ali Machinchy needed a fuel pump. After already giving 2 pumps out for other customers with K210s I didn't have any more left and wanted to keep Ali in the air to entertain the crowd.

So I head over to the dreamworks trailer knowing they would probably have a usable pump. This is where thing go all wrong. After waiting in the Dream Works line (they get pretty busy at FLjets) I asked Todd for a Kingtech fuel pump that will work with a K210. (140,170,180 pumps all work). He had a K170 pump and gave it to me. I was extremely happy to get Ali back in the air. So I asked Todd if he could just Bill Barry/Kingtech for the pump. Out loud in front of all the people waiting in line at Dreamworks Todd says QUOTE ( That Barry Hou does not have an account with us and I don't have any time for him) So I said Todd can I ask what happend? Todd said Quote(He told my customers that all of Barrys K210 customers will get pumps before the dreamworks customers will! I have no time for that Barry Hou!). All the people in line at the Dreamworks trailer just stood there with their mouths open due to Todds outburst. Todd then said (he would get with Barry after the event and get the payment for the pump). So off I went to getting Ali back up. Could not help but think about how unprofessional Todd was venting in front of all these customers about him and Barry.

At the end of the day I wanted to give Barry a call and let him know about what happened. Todd being good people I tried to just smooth things over so told Barry that you and Todd need to get together and iron out some things hes not happy with you. This was all I wanted to say about the situation to Barry cause I understand Todd might have just been venting some. Well after talking to Barry he told me he and Todd already talked about it a week before the event and everything is fine between them now and its all taken care off. So I then felt I needed to tell him that I dont think Todd feels like it taken care off and told him about the outburst in front of his customers at the Dreamowrks Trailer. Barry and Kingtech made the decision during Florida jets to no longer partner with Dreamworks. I saw the Email Barry sent out to Todd on the decision to part ways.

After the event talking to Barry he got a different story from Todd on what happened. So I just told Barry all I can do is tell you what happened. I don't make anything nor gain anything by making stuff up. I also work for law enforcement and take telling the truth very seriously.

At the end of the day I hopped Barry and Todd could have worked it out but sometimes things just don't work out. I don't have any hard feeling towards Todd. But really im not happy about how he wrote Dreamworks was taking the moral high ground and parting ways with Kingtech.... That could not be farther from the truth and Kingtech parted ways with Dreamworks and talking about morals... I don't think having an outburst in public and singling out an individual about private issues and then lying about it is being moral.

I dont know what happned in the past with the fuel pumps and kingtech not supplying them to dreamworks. I was not apart of all that and cant comment on that. All I know is it does not matter who you are. If your engine is broke Barry and Dirk will do what ever it takes to make it right.
