Has anyone seen the show "How It's Made"? It's on the Discovery
Channel. They had a segment on Diamond Aircraft.
It was quite interesting to show the fiberglass and carbon sections
being made and then assembled. They also showed the engine install
and some avionics. Unfortunatly it was extremly short. Now I know I've
been doing it wrong. They just proved it only takes about 8 minutes to
build a plane.

I know several people who've gone to work at Diamond in London, Ontario
and moved on after a while. It has a rep as a tough place to work with
a fairly high turnover. They push their engineering staff really hard.
50-60 hour weeks with no overtime during on the Djet development program.

On the other hand there is a great employee flying club where you can
rent the company products cheap.
