IntoFPV Trivia Night is a fun fortnightly quiz game about FPV related general and technical knowledge! Not only you can win prizes and have a good time, you might also learn something new Rules - Questions will be asked in the Live Chat on the forum front page, first member with the correct answer gets a point
- 15 questions will be asked, most answers can be found on my blog posts
- Points will be carried over to the next Trivia Night
- Member with the most points at the end of November will receive a mystery box from me (usually FPV spare parts / products). Winner's points will be cleared while other member's points will be carried over to the next month
- You are allowed to use google or any website/resources
- 1 min break between questions. 1 answer per participant per question (only first answer counts)

It makes it around 8-9am for people on the west coast of the US. But it's going to suck if you live in Aus or NZ (or anywhere else at GMT +9 to +12). :/ But then any time is going to suck if you live on the other side of the planet.

Unfortunately we have no way to stop people from using the search engine even if we say no, so yes, you are allowed to use google. But I will try to phrase the questions in a way that it's harder to get the answer straight from googling.
