Yeah, they're rolled up, but the contact is made across the ends,
generally, not just at one location in the roll. (That's why you
should build that vector network analyzer...) But I'd avoid them:
they can't take the heat. C0G ceramics and polyprops are both good.
C0G ceramics are available up to 10nF or so even in SMT; polyprops
down to 1nF at least and up to many uF.

Would you believe 100nF/25V C0G in 1206? Not insanely expensive
either.

It's almost as if they can defy the laws of physics these days....
Next thing you know: 100A FETs in the same package. :-|
