I like the flutter.
It looks like the a-bar needs to be moved forward a bit though.

easy fix-but the gromments I use with the bands off lined up centered. I have been finding out there is several school of thoughts on that and springs to-first for me useing this type of setup. Who has used the springs like on the tattooed pirates or on nationals?- very big in the center and tapered on back spring and small strip on the front timing. Tryed those but did not care for them to much. Like some builders only use 18 on both I prefere 20front & 18back for lineing with a standard bar for big liners,cutout bar for small liners or bng and 18 & 20ga with heavy weighted bar for solid color packing and standard bar for color blending/layers but never the same ga. on both ends.
