Physical arguments are given indicating that solar flare magnetic energy storage may happen through force-free fields with helical symmetry (∂z + λ (r) ∂ɸ = o). The mathematical results turn out simple for helical fields whether general, in equilibrium or force-free. A preliminary stability analysis points to appropriate properties.
