T' instructions are very easy t' follow, and even some tips and hints are given. All t' parts fit together with little or no adjustments. Arrr! T' fins are the tough part because you have t' cut them out from a template, and thar are 8 o' them. Ahoy! Care must be taken t' align all t' fins. Ya scallywag! I used Ace hardware brand epoxy and paint t' finish t' model

Finishing:
T' Sentry come with a lot o' small decals, arrr, and it was a little difficult to align them all properly. Arrr! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, me bucko, and is very delicate. I painted t' entire rocket white, me bucko, me bucko, as per instructions, arrr, matey, applied the decals, matey, and clear coated t' model. Avast, me proud beauty! When t' clear coat went on, me hearties, arrr, t' decals faded. Begad! Ahoy! I contacted t' manufacturer and suggested vinyl decals for this reason.

Flight:
I flew t' rocket on an E30-10, matey, shiver me timbers, a little more delay than suggested. Aye aye! Suggested motor is an E30-7. Ahoy! Blimey! It uses a motor hook, so motor just slides in. Well, blow me down! I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! T' rocket took off like a bullet. Arrr! Ya scallywag! Was that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, matey, if the conditions are right, ya bilge rat, it will break t' sound barrier on an E-30. Begad! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! 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. Aye aye! Aye aye! I be surprised to find no damage, ya bilge rat, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Ya scallywag! It ready t' go again. Aye aye!
