Let me know if you couldn't do it, and I'll try to give you another answer tomorrow.

RE: Unbending a helical sweep?
I thought it would be possible using the Spinal Bend, Tweak option. I gave it a shot but it did not work because I think it considers the bend based on the current geometry and not percentage along helical sweep. It could be done with a Variable Section Sweep using the Helical Sweep as a reference.
