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, 1-MT24 engine tube, 1-BT50 thrust ring, 1-Basswood fin stock, 1-9806 template sheet, 1-Balsa wood fin stock, 2-medium snap swivels, 1 shock cord, me bucko, ya bilge rat, 1-medium launch lug, shiver me timbers, 1-shroud line set, me hearties, 1-thin wooden dowel, me hearties, 1-medium screw eye, 1-18" synthetic parachute, matey, 1-wet and slide decal sheet, me bucko, and 2-CR2460 Composite centerin' rings.

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