steve beard YaBB Newbies rebuilding RV6 Posts: 34	dimple die 26.11.2009 at 21:52:35 hi could someone advise me what dimple die i need for my DRDT2 dimpler, as it does not specify what type to use for my RV6 ailerons. Also what is the difference between a dimple die and a spring back dimple die? regards steve

Hi Steve,

Do not know much about the DRT thingy, but you will need 3/32 dimple dies for the ailerons and for other things also get 1/8 dimple dies. Spring backs are a bit better as they over dimple (or doa bit different angle?) to ensure that everything sits more flush when done.

If you need a wing jig, mine will be available to pick up week after next - free of course.

Glad that you started to go! Regards David

On a different note can anybody tell me if i can use the new pre-drilled gear legs in my old mount (1989)which i am rebuilding and should i use a pair as only one of mine is slightly bent
