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

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

T' instructions are very easy t' follow, ya bilge rat, me bucko, and even some tips and hints are given. Aye aye! All t' parts fit together with little or no adjustments. Avast! T' fins are the tough part because you have t' cut them out from a template, and thar are 8 o' them. Aye aye! Care must be taken t' align all t' fins. Begad! Blimey! 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. Arrr! Aye aye! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, ya bilge rat, and is very delicate. Well, blow me down! I painted t' entire rocket white, arrr, as per instructions, applied the decals, shiver me timbers, and clear coated t' model. Avast, me proud beauty! When t' clear coat went on, matey, t' decals faded. Ahoy! 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. Well, blow me down! Suggested motor is an E30-7. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! It uses a motor hook, matey, shiver me timbers, me bucko, so motor just slides in. Aye aye! I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. Aye aye! T' rocket took off like a bullet. Blimey! Was that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, if the conditions are right, arrr, shiver me timbers, me bucko, it will break t' sound barrier on an E-30. Ahoy! 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, blow me down! I was surprised to find no damage, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. It ready t' go again. Begad!
