Nice ...
But I think you need to clean out your pool

One thing I noticed looks a little questionable .
The distance between your stuffing tube and the collet . Looks a bit too long ( meaning there is too much flex hanging in mid air )
Otherwise ... nice build and good luck with her .
Others might be able to tell you best prop to run if you ask .....
