RE: Replacing capacitors in 2.7 QR

Do NOT be tempted by simply low DCR of the coil. You will change the balance of 'power' between sections of the panel.

I have designs for a coil for the MG1.6 which has a DCR within 5% of stock while being made of heavier wire AND is aircore. I use standard PVC pipe as the dimension and winding bobbin for these coils. Stock coil was 0.40ohms and my plan was 0.38ohms and going from 16ga of the Maggie part to 14ga for my design.

For the 3.5mh coil I needed, I planned for about 130feet of wire per.

NONE of the coils commericall available are 'ideal dimension', either. The coil, regardless of outer and inner diameter should have the SAME number of layers as turns per layer. This makes the coil square in cross section and therefore most efficient.
Too much is never enough
