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

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