Thanks for your response it is useful to hear what has worked for others.

I am using this opportunity to improve my input by adding to the overall information regarding Helix on various Paths.  
If there is a requirement to have a less pronounced Curve the Radius of Curvature can be increased. This will naturally reduce the Copying Angle as demonstrated in the following:

The Angle Lines being centred on the Faces of the Helix and providing the Angle to use for Copying.
