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

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

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
