Somewhere there must be a formula for the inductance of a hand-wound coil. Air core, one layer of wire (of given swg) close-wound, diameter of former (cardboard, probably inside of toilet paper roll), length of coil,... (what else?), therefore inductance equals ...

BTW single layer solenoid-wound coils usually hit the calculate values spot-on, it doesn't start to get hairy until you add layers. There's a formula that takes into consideration the diameter/length ratio too, but for simple single layer coils try the "Amateur Radio Handbook."

A first approach : µ0*N^^2*S/L. Parasistic elements are uncomputable.
