At the very least, change the plywood spars to oak.
The download on a horizontal is very high.
Half the material in plywood has no strength in the proper direction to resist the bending load.
The whole thing is rocking back and forth on the low pivot. That is awful!
It's quite difficult to get the scale look and performance with a wood structure.
