Patrick Underwood won the Editor's Design Contest with his Limiting Factor. Since this is 2001, the theme of the contest was to design a futuristic-looking model rocket. Patrick's model was superbly designed. Plans for the Limiting Factor are in the Sep-Oct 2001 issue of the COS-Rocketeer.

One of the NAR events held was Plastic Model Conversion. All of the entered models made qualifying flights (though a couple were marginally stable). In C division, Bruce Markielewski took first place in this event with his Battle Star Galactica Colonial Viper. It flew on a cluster of three motors (one A8-3 and two C6-3's). Ed O'Neill came in second with his F104. Greg Elder's Ariane 5 flying on a D10-4 motor took third place. Finally, in fourth place was Jeff Proffit's Saturn 1B.
