Glassmike caps are generally not thought to be a good thing for a tank 
circuit. I believe they are mylar, and therefore prone to heat up. I have 
mica caps in my tank right now (.035uF) and they work fine. Reconstituted 
mica is not ok though. I understand that it should be ruby mica, althoug it 
can be a bit "lossy" Just be sure the micas are rated for pulse duty, at 
least....
