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

Construction:
T' kit comes with 1-engine hook, arrr, 1-BT60 body tube, matey, shiver me timbers, 1-balsa nosecone, 1-MT24 engine tube, shiver me timbers, 1-BT50 thrust ring, 1-Basswood fin stock, 1-9806 template sheet, 1-Balsa wood fin stock, matey, 2-medium snap swivels, shiver me timbers, 1 shock cord, ya bilge rat, 1-medium launch lug, me hearties, arrr, 1-shroud line set, ya bilge rat, 1-thin wooden dowel, ya bilge rat, 1-medium screw eye, arrr, arrr, 1-18" synthetic parachute, 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. Arrr! Blimey! All t' parts fit together with little or no adjustments. Avast, me proud beauty! T' fins are the tough part because you have t' cut them out from a template, and thar are 8 o' them. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! Blimey! 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, and it was a little difficult to align them all properly. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, matey, matey, and is very delicate. Aye aye! I painted t' entire rocket white, me hearties, as per instructions, applied the decals, and clear coated t' model. Begad! When t' clear coat went on, shiver me timbers, t' decals faded. Begad! 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 hearties, a little more delay than suggested. Suggested motor is an E30-7. Avast, me proud beauty! It uses a motor hook, me bucko, shiver me timbers, so motor just slides in. Blimey! I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. T' rocket took off like a bullet. 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. 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. Avast, me proud beauty! I be surprised to find no damage, ya bilge rat, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Begad! It ready t' go again. Begad! Blimey!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
