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

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

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
