Having flown and run contests under both the old and new systems, for me, the new one wins hands down.

Many competition model rockets and rocket kits are, physically, quite simple 3FNC/4FNC, often minimum-diameter rockets, whose designs are optimized for higher performance (and streamer duration, parachute duration, and egglofter models are often similar, but with enlarged recovery system or egg compartments). Including such competition rocket airframe parts, along with a beginners' model rocket kit (just off the top of my head [I'm sure there are other sources], Apogee Rockets, ASP, and Quest are good sources of competition rocket parts) and plans (with contest types information, good-performing fin planform [and cardstock boat-tail] patterns, aluminized Mylar streamers and parachutes, a NAR Standard Payload, etc.) in the sets would enable *anyone*--isolated or not--with an interest in competition model rocketry to get involved.
