T' Sentry is a single stage scale rocket.

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

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

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