flat sheet layout of helix?

Our team is using a helical "trough" to guide balls into the gun loading zone. The sides of the trough are easy to layout but the bottom is difficult to do correctly. We have not found a way in Inventor to construct the flat panel layout of the helix - does anyone know the correct method?

An image of the trough with balls is attached.

Note: laying out the helix as concentric circles with a slit works reasonably well but does not fit with our team motto: "Good enough is NOT good enough"
