I can offer some guidance. Draw the two sketches for the end faces of your part. Draw them at whatever angle and distance you need. When I drew the circle sketch, I drew a construction rectangle inscribed inside the circle to create four point on the circle; Invnetor matches these points to the four corners of the rectangle. Generate a loft from one sketch to the other. This will probably not give you the shape you want. Edit the loft and select the CONDITIONS tab. By selecting the DIRECTION CONDITION, you can adjust the angle and weight values to change the curvature of the loft. If that does not give you the shape you need, you can create 3D sketches that will act as rails for the loft to follow.

When you edit the loft feature, you can add a twist to the loft by remapping the points in the TRANSITION tab.

I can send you a file if you would like to see it.
