Andrew,

Wow! That's a mere 1:1 aspect ratio! Is this a simple cylinder that's
4 ft tall and 4 ft in diameter from top to bottom or is it cone shaped where
it's 4 ft. in diameter at the bottom but considerably narrower in diameter
at the top? Most coilers opt for an aspect ratio between 3:1 and 4:1.
