"Any radios or servos around to sweeten it up?"

Sorry, no.

"I'm interested, but very new to the RC hobby. Would it be an easy project for someone who is barely learning??? I really would like one and building from the ground up seems like a cool idea!!"

Im not sure whether this would be what youre looking for, it would take at least some understanding of RC basics. If youre just getting into RC, something a little more complete may be better for you. But for the price, you might just want to consider it!
