Using loft to create a winglet

I'm trying to use the loft feature to create a winglet by connecting 2 different aerofoil sketches (1 bigger than the other), any ideas why it isn't working?

    looks like your profiles have a different amount of vertices. Use the connections option in the loft to tell Onshape exactly which points should connect to which.

    As MDesign already said. But be super careful. This simple loft approach is very likely to not create the exact intermediate airfoils you expect. If you're after performance, you'll need a bit more helper geometry.
