Hello Master.

the size you have should work good. The plans state for awg, I live in Australia and had to get swg. I used 24 swg for my power and 27 swg for my trigger. Try and pick a size close to the plans, theres a great guy on ebay who deals in awg if you want to be specific. Resistor values will vary slightly for different gauges and lengths, experiment a little. Use a 1n4007 for the output diode (1000v rated) and you can use it for the emitter to base as well if you want.

If I was you I would wind both wires on until I ran out. Have a massive coil. Test it later if want you can cut it all up. That way you could still have the option of turning it into a tri/quad filar later. Wind at least 400 odd turns if you want anything with decent output with that gauge.

Good luck, keep us updated
