Sweet pattern & great instruction. I'm a novice, the tail end of the rabbit strip has a slight twist, will that affect the action or will it soften when fished?
Nope, once it gets wet it will soften and straighten out, the underside of rabbit strips look almost like the white belly of a baitfish when wet and moving.
The goal for the eyes on that side is so when a fish is hooked, it's in the lower jaw, which is easier on the fish. The pattern could be tied in reverse with the eyes on the other side with slight modifications.
Beyond my skill but awesome
Nice :-)

What size rabbit strip do you use for the tail?
What brand of "Angel hair" did you use? I bought some angel hair from Larva Lace, and it is far from right. Thanks!
Why not eyes on the other side so the fly rides with hook up? Now it looks like this fly will hook up on debris on the bottom...
