RCGroups.com

RCGroups.com is a website that hosts a large forum dedicated to RC modelling and FPV. It also publishes articles, news and reviews on model airplanes, cars, boats, helicopters, multirotors, FPV gear, etc. It also features blogs, classifieds, maps and an event calendar.

It was founded in 1996 by Jim Bourke, a computer programmer whose hobby was modelling remote-controlled electric-powered aircraft. The website was originally called "The E Zone" (where “E” stood for “electric flight”). In 2001, the website got renamed to its present name. A smiling yellow radio controller was chosen as a logo.

In 2009, the website reached 13 million posts and had over 1 million threads. At the time, its audience constituted 1 million unique visitors per month.
