I have the C-frame for dimpling and riviting the skins: however, I would need to get the bead roller dies.  Eastwood sells this bead roller with dies, (http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=11108&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C1397%2C1406%2C1407&KickerID=355&KICKER), but I'm not sure if the dies will work.  What have you guys used?

Lynn -- the flush-head rivet holes in the aileron skins should be dimpled, not counter sunk.  We used a large C-frame for both dimpling and driving the rivets when we did mine.

Yes, Tim: I have done it several times. I find the hardest part is putting in all the counter-sunk rivets for the stiffeners. A friend has the correct roller for the edges, which I borrow, and the edge rivets are no problem, using a rivet squeezer. But getting all the stiffener holes drilled and counter sunk takes quite a while ( guess I am just real slow). If one had a squeezer which would reach 8 inches, then it would be a lot simpler. I have used a large drill press to counter sink the holes, but still have to put in all the rivets by hand.
