Take a scuff board ( ladies nail file) and sand a slight bevel onto the lowest edge of the hooks. This helps lead then into the slots.
Work particularly on the end tip, lowest point, thinning this like a trailing edge.

My Hot I can put on one handed, the larger 2m has more flex so it needs two hands, but this will make a huge difference.
You can also make the fuselage slots have a very slight lead in by removing the sharp edges either side.
