Custom Nomad Build Part 1 Parts

Hard to believe, but I haven't built a Custom Rocket before.
They've always seemed to have some of the lowest prices in the industry. Pretty amazng, considering they are made and assembled in the U.S.!

In the past FEW YEARS, many of the Custom designs looked to be standard fare, but the new P.O.N.G., S.L.V. and Nomad designs caught my attention.
To be honest, when I first saw the Nomad, I thought it looked like two toilet paper rolls, side by side. This one turned out to be a great build!




Here's all the parts, right out of the bag.





Some interesting pieces going clockwise from the upper left:

An addendum to the parachute instructions now has the shroud lines tie through the tape disk center hole.
The vacuform nose cone is a flat, dome shaped circle.
Large, pressure sensitive stickers
Five, black launch lugs
Large tape disks for shroud line attachment.
A balsa coupler for the nose cone shoulder assembly.
In the center: A short 5055 centering ring and short BT-55 outer ring.
