Colin,

That would work, but there would still be firing time jitter due to 
mechanical limitations.  In these kinds of twin coil designs no mechanical
offset would be used.  The think the jitter in any case would be much
greater than one RF cycle, so there's no ability to phase the coils
mechanically, RF- wise.  Random phasing would have to be depended 
on in these designs.
