Don't over do it with the tape.
If the engine doesn't stick out far enougk to grab it with a pair of pliars, you can take a dowel going from the front end up against the end of the motor.
The dowel must be able to fit through the engine block without resistance, gently tap, and I mean gently tap the dowel on a sidewalk whilr holding onto the rocket, don/t squeeze the rocket though.
This "friction fit" method was used before engine hooks came along.
Just curious, why did you select the Bullpup, the Baby Bertha would have been a better choice, no friction fitting there.
I requested that the Bullpup instruction be updated, I'm sure alot of the info is acient compared to current methods.
I sent several emails and discussed the issue, and the end results.....you fill in the black.
Good luck with you launch.
