That looks like one of those "too good to be true" prices.  I personally have never heard of the radio maker.  And I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for.  At 51 years old, I have learned that lesson too many times in my life.  But since you stated something about being for a beginner, it may be a good choice.  Oh, and I have only dealt with Hobby People once.  I bought my Airtronics thru them and had zero problems.
