Hello, i havent been on for a while so hello everyone again, and i have a helix question, what would be the space required to build a helix that has a minimum radii of 28''?

thanks

If you mean the width, just double the radius, so it will have to be at least 56 inches wide. To have some room to run the tracks with some side clearance about 60 inches is probably more realistic.
 
Yup, basically 5 feet. Not to mention a hollow center so you can get in there to rerail the inevitable derailment on the far side. Unless you can access it all around.....
