Default wire strut coils

Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question, but here goes. I did a search on here but could not find an answer.
I am bending my first set of struts ( K & S 3/16 wire) for retracts with the ( http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGFW4&P=0 ) Mighty wire bender. I have seen pictures of wire struts, some with one coil and some with two coils. But I am not sure which is the better way two go. Also, not 100 % sure that I can even bed two coils. Have only tried the one coil. Seemed to be ok, although I had to tweek it a little in the vise. I have extra material, so I can experiment a little. I am hoping maybe somebody has some experience that they could share on this.
Thanks
