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

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

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
