A Q factor with an error of 10% is very good for the most applications
Patricio, this calculator may interest you for inductor design. Its Q accuracy is within a few percent on average for test coils measured with an HP 4342A Q meter. Worst case Q error is < 10%. It has an optimizer for maximizing Q. It can also optimize a coil for minimum loss in a trap. Much to my surprise, this does not occur at maximum coil Q.
