engine tube, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, 1-BT50 thrust ring, me bucko, 1-Basswood fin stock, matey, 1-9806 template sheet,

synthetic parachute, 1-wet and slide decal sheet, and 2-CR2460 Composite

T' instructions are very easy t' follow, shiver me timbers, and even some tips and hints are given. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! All t' parts fit together with little or no adjustments. T' fins are the tough part because you have t' cut them out from a template, and thar are 8 o' them. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! Care must be taken t' align all t' fins. Ya scallywag! Blimey! I used Ace hardware brand epoxy and paint t' finish t' model
Finishing:
T' Sentry come with a lot o' small decals, and it was a little difficult to
align them all properly. Avast! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, and is very
delicate. I painted t' entire rocket white, as per instructions, applied the
decals, arrr, and clear coated t' model. When t' clear coat went on, t' decals
faded. Avast! Blimey! 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, ya bilge rat, a little more delay than suggested. Avast, me proud beauty! Suggested
motor is an E30-7. Arrr! It uses a motor hook, ya bilge rat, so motor just slides in. Avast, me proud beauty! I used the
insulation shredded paper for wadding. Blimey! T' rocket took off like a bullet. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! Was
that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, if the
conditions are right, it will break t' sound barrier on an E-30. Aye aye! 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. Begad! I be surprised to
find no damage, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Well, blow me down! Begad! Blimey! It ready t' go again.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
I would recommend this model t' an experienced builder. Avast! Ahoy! It is a neat looking
rocket. Well, me bucko, blow me down! Main pro's-T' materials used in this kit are all top notch. Begad! Main
