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

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

T' instructions are very easy t' follow, me hearties, matey, and even some tips and hints are given. 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, matey, and thar are 8 o' them. Aye aye! 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, and it was a little difficult to align them all properly. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, and is very delicate. I painted t' entire rocket white, me bucko, as per instructions, me hearties, applied the decals, and clear coated t' model. Begad! Ya scallywag! When t' clear coat went on, t' decals faded. Aye aye! 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, arrr, a little more delay than suggested. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Suggested motor is an E30-7. Well, blow me down! Begad! Blimey! It uses a motor hook, matey, so motor just slides in. Ahoy! Blimey! I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. T' rocket took off like a bullet. Was that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, me bucko, if the conditions are right, it will break t' sound barrier on an E-30. Cool! Blimey! 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. Arrr! I was surprised to find no damage, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Ya scallywag! It ready t' go again. Blimey!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
