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

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
