Arduino Project servos, and wii nunchuck

Hey guys I'm doing a year 12 major work and have decided to use arduino as i have heard it is a good way to go about things. My plan is to control two servos wirelessly with a wii nunchuck. The wii nunchuck will be connected to a arduino board with a wireless transmitter (http://www.jaycar.com.au/products_uploaded/ZW3100(mod).pdf) and will send to another arduino board which has the receiver (http://www.jaycar.com.au/products_uploaded/ZW3102(mod).pdf) and will send those onto the servos.

I was inspired by such projects:
*Arduino + Nunchuck + Pan and Tilt Camera - YouTube
*Nunchuck Controlled Robot Charlie - YouTube

Here is a diagram of what i think it will be set up like?:

What I really need is someone to help me out on how to do this?
I have no idea how to do the programing or the code, i have all the boards transmitters etc. If someone can help me how to do this code or anything it would be hugely appreciated. If somone is willing to write the code for a cost this is understanable.[.

Break you plan down into easily understood parts.
Get comfortable with the IDE, play with the blink examples.
Play around with serial comms to the PC.
Then try a single servo and something like a pot to control it (it comes to about a dozen lines of code).
The second servo won't add much to your sketch.
The Wii remote will be a bit harder, but there are plenty of examples around.

Then stitch it all together.
