Default Custom P.O.N.G. Builld Started

I've started a build of the Custom Rockets
P.O.N.G.

on my building blog at;
www.modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com

This one turned out to be a challenge!
One of the more involved 13mm rockets I've ever tackled.

It's nice to see that someone other than myself has built this little "tuffie".

I've often thought the stylized ping pong ball NC sort of looks like the nose of the spacecraft in the cartoon "Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space".

Sometimes I think Custom doesn't get the credit it deserves for it's reasonably priced kits, made in the USA.

I did this one a couple of years ago.

I agree. Custom puts out reasonable kits, great value and some interesting designs.

Compared to comparable models, the Custom Solar Explorer and Nomad were great values and fun builds.

Does anyone know if Custom will have a booth at NARAM 55?
