That's a pretty broad subject. We'll need more imformation.

Is it upward or downward?
Where does it enter and exit?
How many times does it go around?
How big and wide?

I don't know what kind of helix you are looking for, but here is a decent one that I made on my previous coaster to help you along with yours.

You are not going to learn anything from building if you just arrive at this site and need a tutorial for everything.

For future reference, this thread is 2 years old. You can tell by the dates at the top left of each post. Also, Maxlaam is right. If you're serious about becoming a better builder, then don't use tutorials, especially for something as basic as a helix. But anyhow, welcome to SSC!

There is such thing called an edit button, it allows you to rewrite your post.

You should make a construction thread and post pictures so we can see and possibly help you on your coaster.
