Default Cleco every other hole?

Working on RV-10 horizontal stab and don't have enough clecos. Any problem skipping every other hole before match drilling. Too cheap to buy extra. Or would anyone recommend buying more for the wings and fuselage?

Thanks in advance

You will most likely need more for the bigger parts in the future. On straight rows, I sometimes will skip one or two holes between clecos. On curved portions, I usually have a clecos in every hold, pull it, drill it, put it back in, or pull it and rivet.

Would you like to borrow some? By your profile I guess we work for the same company. I can meet you at the airport.

The tailcone required the most 3/32 clecos for me. I think I wound up getting 500, and that was just enough.
