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

Finishing:
T' Sentry come with a lot o' small decals, me hearties, and it was a little difficult to align them all properly. Begad! T' decal sheet be t' wet and slide type, me hearties, shiver me timbers, and is very delicate. Aye aye! I painted t' entire rocket white, matey, arrr, as per instructions, arrr, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, applied the decals, me hearties, and clear coated t' model. When t' clear coat went on, t' decals faded. Arrr! 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, a little more delay than suggested. Arrr! Ya scallywag! Suggested motor is an E30-7. It uses a motor hook, so motor just slides in. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. Avast! Begad! T' rocket took off like a bullet. Arrr! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! Was that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, arrr, me bucko, if the conditions are right, matey, it will break t' sound barrier on an E-30. Begad! 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 was surprised to find no damage, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Well, arrr, blow me down! It ready t' go again. Avast, me proud beauty!
