I present to you: R??dslan R??dslan is a mix of several random ideas that I had in mind, be it the swamp theme for a mack creation that I never made, an eagle-themed wing that I wanted to make, and so I mixed them all in that creation, hopefully enjoy the end result! Enjoy!

T - Decent overall. It's difficult to get the shaping of these types of rides right without the aid of FVD, but you've done pretty well. The first drop and loop are nice, but the transition between them should be banked more. I like the placement of the turn after the loop amongst the station and scenery, but I think it would have been more effective, and more to style, if it was overbanked. The following two inversion element looks really nice and rides really nice; something I might expect on an Intamin works really well here. The valley after that next helix though shows one of the pitfalls of hand-building. The zero-g roll element rolls to the left, but the track takes a slight roll to the right before doing so. More roll nodes, up to one every 4-6 meters or more is better, make for a smoother transition from no roll to some roll. I hope my explanation is good! The last few turns before the flat roll I think should run faster (lower to the ground) while the flat roll itself should go a bit slower, especially running into the final brakes. Speaking of which, magnetic brakes would've been more appropriate per the style.
A - Great element order and element choices. Barring the small pacing issue towards the end, I found the experience quite exciting. The heavy vertical g's weren't too heavy which is good to the style, and the lats and hanging forces were certainly there and in good places.
U - Some of the element choices do occur a lot in other rides of this style, such as the flat roll into the final brakes, but I like to consider those staples of the style more than tired. The other elements and the way they interplay was well done and helped set this wing coaster apart from others.
R - My comments on technique mostly apply here as well. You've gotten a good way there, but the more nuanced details are holding you back on these two categories. The transfer table needs some way to move. Even a pit to allow the default structure to sit in would be better than z-fighting wood planks. I certainly wouldn't want to have to push the track myself. Some of the textures are of lower quality than others and thus stand out. The idea you had for the queue line is good, but I think the practical application might not be so great. Cutting lines or generally going the wrong way seems easy. Thunderbird at Holiday World sees some confusion too, so I can't fault you too hard, this station setup can be difficult to manage because of the trains.
RV - Barring my pickiness for the finer details, this is a great little project. I see the effort you make and the love for roller coasters you have. Good pacing, nice theme, and well presented overall, despite a few rough edges.
