Is the set pictured in Peter's response the swivel set? If so, that set is the set I am using. From the picture on Peter's response I take it this is a two person job, especially if you are riveting with your skin horizontal. I have been using the swivel set by myself and have found it fairly difficult to control. But I was not able to hold the red tip with the other hand because I was holding the bucking bar.
I thought the set referred to in Steve's response might be easier to use because it does not look like it swivels.
I still think my air pressure might have been to high for the thin skin. An earlier reply suggested 40 psi for a 3/32 rivet and 60 psi for 1/8 rivet. Can someone confirm the pressure recommendation?
Thanks

Yes, the photo shows an Avery swivel set with the rubber cap. This shot was done with a helper on the bucking bar, but I have set many by myself as well. I have good results doing both. Holding everything myself is more difficult, as you have to make sure to keep the swivel set as flat as possible. To date, I feel fortunate to only have a couple of smiling rivets on the plane. Both were the result of shooting by myself, and slipping on the flush set.
