Primary spacing on large coil.



I am currently in the process of building a large Tesla coil.  
It will have an input of 50KV at 100mA.  The primary capacitance is 
12.5nF, and will resonate at 120kHz. The secondary has a diameter of 15 
inches.
	The problem here is how far apart do the primary winding need to 
be in a large coil?  In the smaller coils built I know that primary 
sapcing was recommended to be from 3/8 to 1/2 of and inch.

	Any help would be greatly appreciated.
