I built 4 capacitors using 0.060 HDPE in mineral oil.  The capacitors
were tapped at 6400, 3200, 1600, 800, 400 and 200pf.  This allows 2^6
or 32 tune steps per capacitor with 200pf incremental steps.  Mulitply
by a usual number of primary taps, and a very wide tune range and
precision tuning capability is very easy to accomplish.
