Take this step slow!
A notch has to be cut into the tail cone to allow movement of the engine hook.
Mark with a sharp pencil, 1/8" wide by 1/2" long.
Those half round vertical ribs are wider at the bottom. Keep that in mind when cutting out the notch.
Score the pencil line with a sharp knife.
I carved the notch out making small chip cuts from side to side.
The top of the notch was squared up using a diamond file.
The sides were widened with the flat file so the 1/8" width would be consistent from top to bottom.
Check the width by sliding the engine hook in making sure it doesn't bind against the sides of the notch.
