Minimum radius for a rotating wheel space station to feel flat

Assuming a spinning space station shaped like a wheel. With the inhabitant living on the inside of the Wheel to get spin gravity. Something like the station discussed in this post.

The needed speed and radius to achieve a certain gravity can be calculated using this page.

How large would the radius have to be for the people living in the station to feel that the ground is flat. I'm thinking that there are two aspects that to the feeling of flat ness that can be discussed separately.
