Default Self capacitance/inductance ...

I have been using the following formula to find the self-inductance of a
whip in free space:

4l
L = 5.08*l(ln---- -1)
d

Anyone have a more accurate equation?

Also, I need to compute the self-capacitance of a whip. Anyone have a
reasonably accurate equation for such?
