Brief:
T' Sentry is a single stage scale rocket.

Construction:
T' kit comes with 1-engine hook, ya bilge rat, 1-BT60 body tube, 1-balsa nosecone, 1-MT24 engine tube, arrr, 1-BT50 thrust ring, ya bilge rat, 1-Basswood fin stock, 1-9806 template sheet, 1-Balsa wood fin stock, 2-medium snap swivels, 1 shock cord, 1-medium launch lug, me hearties, arrr, 1-shroud line set, 1-thin wooden dowel, me bucko, 1-medium screw eye, 1-18" synthetic parachute, 1-wet and slide decal sheet, me bucko, ya bilge rat, and 2-CR2460 Composite centerin' rings.

T' instructions are very easy t' follow, and even some tips and hints are given. Aye aye! Begad! All t' parts fit together with little or no adjustments. Begad! Aye aye! T' fins are the tough part because you have t' cut them out from a template, arrr, shiver me timbers, and thar are 8 o' them. Care must be taken t' align all t' fins. I used Ace hardware brand epoxy and paint t' finish t' model

Finishing:
T' Sentry come with a lot o' small decals, ya bilge rat, and it be a little difficult to align them all properly. Ya scallywag! Begad! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, and is very delicate. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! I painted t' entire rocket white, matey, as per instructions, me bucko, me bucko, applied the decals, ya bilge rat, arrr, and clear coated t' model. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! When t' clear coat went on, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, t' decals faded. I contacted t' manufacturer and suggested vinyl decals for this reason.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I flew t' rocket on an E30-10, a little more delay than suggested. Aye aye! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Suggested motor is an E30-7. Arrr! It uses a motor hook, so motor just slides in. Aye aye! Arrr! I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. Begad! T' rocket took off like a bullet. Avast! Was that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, me bucko, if the conditions are right, matey, it will break t' sound barrier on an E-30. Avast! Blimey! Cool! The extra delay time allowed t' rocket t' deploy just after apogee.

Recovery:
T' 18 inch chute brought t' rocket down at a good pace. Ya scallywag! I be surprised to find no damage, shiver me timbers, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Begad! It ready t' go again.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
