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. 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. Avast! 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, ya bilge rat, and it was a little difficult to align them all properly. Aye aye! Arrr! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, matey, me bucko, and is very delicate. Avast, me proud beauty! I painted t' entire rocket white, ya bilge rat, me bucko, as per instructions, me hearties, applied the decals, and clear coated t' model. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! 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, a little more delay than suggested. Ya scallywag! Suggested motor is an E30-7. Ya scallywag! Blimey! It uses a motor hook, ya bilge rat, so motor just slides in. Ya scallywag! Ahoy! 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, ya bilge rat, 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. Begad! I be surprised to find no damage, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. It ready t' go again. Well, blow me down!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
