Help with airfoil loft

I'm trying to make a twisted airfoil for an EDF, and running into 3 different issues

Firstly, I need to loft the shape across 9 profiles to get the correct twist. It works for the 8 that are close to each other, but the last one far away doesn't want to work.

I was originally going to just extrude outwards from the side instead of adding that extra loft profile, but for some reason it says I can't extrude that profile. I tried copying into a new sketch, redrawing the spline, and it still didn't want to work.

Last issue is when I try to extrude this ring through the foil to round the tips, the whole part just disappears for some reason. Same thing if I try to add the circle to the foil.

 Anyone know why these issues are ocurring?
