David,

Thank you for your advice. How much air space did you have 
around your caps? Some forced air cooling?

- For the first steps I'll use a secondary coil from a former project:
4" x 26.4", 1300 turns AWG 26

I'm planning on winding 100 to 300 additional turns of larger 
diameter to the base of the coil in order to avoid overheating 
because of the high current in this part of the coil. Later I'll wind a 
completely new secondary, which will be a little bit higher and will 
have thicker wire. Would you please recommend some figures?
