Hi,

1. which loft (name) are you talking about?
2. I recommend that you first edit the numerous errors and warnings.

Loft is finicky, 

the large front radius and straight rear rail is over powering.

Better result from 4 half ribs and 2 rails.  Second loft or Mirror will get you there.

Might help....

No, I made the loft, by selecting the outside edge of the patches, then front back rails.  A one piece Loft, that can either be mirrored as a body, or do the same for this side.

 

For the Vertical Stab, bottom rib patch - there is a sketch missing as step 2 of the timeline, and the move command is looking for some references that are no longer there.  When you see a yellow or red Icon pop up, fix it with Undo.

 

Might help.
