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

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

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