2018 is here now and this marks our 23rd year of supplying EFI for the Experimental Aircraft market. 2018 will see us surpass 1900 aviation ECUs and kits delivered to the market. We're pretty proud of that. With the new year, some new things for SDS also:
With our higher purchase volumes now, we've been able to get better pricing on some components used in our kits so we've added some more hardware to the kits for without raising prices.
We've slightly lowered the pricing on four cylinder angle valve systems also as a result of this.
Some hardware will see some slight changes this year as a result of customer feedback but in all cases, we retain the same high quality standards with our parts as before.
Now that we are back to marketing on our own again, you'll be seeing more ads and articles about SDS in many magazines and web forums starting in January. We also have some new partners to help expand into new markets and areas. You may see us at more aircraft trade shows in the future. I'll make announcements on those when we are closer to those events and know for sure. You'll see continued support of the teams running SDS at Reno and we're excited to be working on some new projects in that area.
As usual, we continue development on new features and expanding our kit offerings. SDS EFI is available for 4 and 6 cylinder Lycomings, O-200 and IO-550 Continentals, Rotax 912 and Jabiru 2200, 3300, 5100 engines along with many popular auto conversion engines like Subaru and LS engines.
We do see backlogs building a bit more now with lead times stretching over 2 weeks now in some cases. We're training our personnel on new jobs to try to keep order lead times down to reasonable levels.
We look forward to working with builders and continue being the leading EFI supplier in this market and as always, appreciate your support and feedback.
