Hi Mike,

I'm planning the primary for my 8-1/2" x 40" secondary.
I think I'll make the primary a sloped pancake @ 25*,
Any better suggestions?
"I" would just make it flat, but "sloped" ones look better.
I'm considering 3/8" over 1/4" copper tubing.
Any good reason to use the larger diameter?
Turn spacing provided by 10-32 nylon screws.
3/8 is fine. You coil is a good sized one so 3/8 will do well. Check the
prices on the screws since a lot of them can add up. Try to get the
plastic compatible loctite if you use nuts on them like I did since they
tend to come loose in mass.
Also how for should I start the inner turn from the
O.D of the secondary?
I always used 1 inch away.
Cheers,
Terry
Thanks for the feedback
