I'd like to start by thanking Stu who post videos on YouTube under the handle of UAVfutures (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ioIOr3tH6Yz8qzr418R-g). It was his video that inspired me to build my first drone. I really enjoyed the build process and still working on making more adjustments/improvements. Now I will just have to figure out how to fly it :). P.S. I just parts to build up a Tyro79 ;)

Wrapping the standoffs in paracord is an interesting touch. It adds visual continuity, and highlight color. It will make it easier to find when you crash. I like it.
I wish you had straightened a section of the motor wires so they would mimic the straightness of the standoffs (maybe from the motor to about 70% of the way down the arm) in addition to mimicing their color, texture, and rough dimension.
I hope you enjoy flying it, she should be pretty easy to work on.
Set managable goals as you learn to fly. It takes many small steps.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
