I need help with this loft...Inventor 2013

Can someone help with this loft?

 

In the attached file I am trying to loft a piece of flatbar (sketch 33) and make it transition through the profiles in sketches 34, 35 and a final twist in 36. Everytime I loft it makes the flatbar "bow" out in a loopy fashion. I can minimize it by playing with transitions and end conditions but I can never make it look flat (like flatbar should be).

 

Can someone take a look at the attached file and offer some advice.

I think maybe you are doing too much work.

Extrude Sketch33 down to the bottom of the second cage loop.

Now Loft from the bottom of the extrusion to Sketch36.

Set the end Condition of the loft Tangent to the Extrusion.

 

Loft only the twisted geometry.
Sketch 34 and 35 are not needed.
