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

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

T' instructions are very easy t' follow, matey, shiver me timbers, and even some tips and hints are given. Ahoy! All t' parts fit together with little or no adjustments. Begad! Begad! T' fins are the tough part because you have t' cut them out from a template, ya bilge rat, and thar are 8 o' them. Begad! 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. T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, matey, me bucko, and is very delicate. Ya scallywag! I painted t' entire rocket white, shiver me timbers, as per instructions, applied the decals, matey, and clear coated t' model. Avast! When t' clear coat went on, t' decals faded. Avast, me proud beauty! 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. Arrr! Blimey! Suggested motor is an E30-7. Begad! Blimey! It uses a motor hook, so motor just slides in. I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! T' rocket took off like a bullet. Begad! Was that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, matey, arrr, if the conditions are right, ya bilge rat, 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. Well, me bucko, blow me down! I was surprised to find no damage, shiver me timbers, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Ya scallywag! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! It ready t' go again. Blimey!
