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

Finishing:
T' Sentry come with a lot o' small decals, and it be a little difficult to align them all properly. Aye aye! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, ya bilge rat, me bucko, and is very delicate.

When t' clear coat went on, me hearties, ya bilge rat, t' decals faded. Begad! Arrr! I contacted t' manufacturer and suggested vinyl decals for this reason.

Flight:
I flew t' rocket on an E30-10, me hearties, a little more delay than suggested. Well, blow me down! Arrr! Suggested motor is an E30-7. Well, blow me down! Begad! It uses a motor hook, so motor just slides in. I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. T' rocket took off like a bullet. Aye aye! Was that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, me hearties, if the conditions are right, arrr, it will break t' sound barrier on an E-30. Aye aye! Begad! 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. Ahoy! Aye aye! I was surprised to find no damage, matey, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Well, blow me down! It ready t' go again. Avast! Well, blow me down!
