With John Freau's NST formula 14.2 ft. With John's Potential Transformer
formula 17.5 ft. So I'd say
somewhere in between, and if your not hitting at least 14 ft., there will
be some efficiency work to be done
(These numbers consider 120 bps and in John's testing, less spark length
for higher bps.  These are
considered rather optimum spark length efficiency's. Although spark length
can exceed these numbers,
typically they don't).
