T' instructions are very easy t' follow, and even some tips and hints are given. Avast, me proud beauty! All t' parts fit together with little or no adjustments. Avast, me proud beauty! T' fins are the tough part because you have t' cut them out from a template, and thar are 8 o' them. Avast! Care must be taken t' align all t' fins. Aye aye! Begad! 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! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, me bucko, and is very delicate. I painted t' entire rocket white, as per instructions, applied the decals, shiver me timbers, and clear coated t' model. Ahoy! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! When t' clear coat went on, t' decals faded. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! I contacted t' manufacturer and suggested vinyl decals for this reason.

Flight:
I flew t' rocket on an E30-10, a little more delay than suggested. Aye aye! Blimey! Suggested motor is an E30-7. Well, blow me down! Begad! It uses a motor hook, matey, so motor just slides in. Begad! I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. Begad! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! T' rocket took off like a bullet. Ya scallywag! Was that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, shiver me timbers, 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! Avast! I be surprised to find no damage, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Well, blow me down! It ready t' go again. Well, blow me down!
