John,

I think you might be right on with that.  I have my 3" coil running with a 
12 kv 60 ma transformer, .017 ufd primary cap and a new small sync rotary 
that I built.  I get close to the same spark length with the rotary as I 
did the static gap but the coil performs much better with the static 
gap.  More sparks, longer and thicker.  Maybe I need a larger cap to get 
the best permormance out of the rotary.
