Ok I'll bite;)

Richard,
	Given your little micro coil: 3" by 5" tall, how long are it's
sparks.

I'm asking because of several simultaneous events, my 7ish year old
son (and wife ((not size 7 yet;);) ) are making hints about a science
fair project, Skip's temporary small coil restrictions and several of
the coilers on this list are in frozen environments all of which add
up to small coil projects.

	chow,
