T' Sentry is a single stage scale rocket.

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

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
