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

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

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