As long as you are running copper tubing and a good size toroid on top the
electrostatic field should be stable.  If running copper ribbon on the pri.,
whose sharp edges can disrupt the field, I would consider a longer coilform.
Most TC designs are pushed hard with regard to field control and usually the
only way we get away with it is the short duty cycle of operation.
