I suggest cruising over to RCGroups -- several active threads over there. Construction is not hard, just fiddly (assembling in three dimensions "in the air") and the stock brushed motor isn't bad. SEveral threads on brushless upgrades.

I'm about half-way through building mine and will pound away on it this week, hopefully finishing it by the end of the month.

That is, if I can keep from building a copy of Mark Dimonte's Avro Arrow pusher.
