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

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

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
