I went back to the engine mount and removed the extended engine hook.
This rocket will end up with a friction fit engine.
If I'm taking the extra time to get it closer to scale, it wouldn't look right with a metal hook extending out the back.
A fine toothed razor saw was used to score the hook. I'm just cutting through 1/2 of the metal. I don't want to cut completely through and into the engine mount tube.
The hook was simply bent up and down until it broke off at the sawed score line.
The front end of the hook will remain in place. It'll never be seen once the mount is glued into the body.
