Just want to vent some frustration about rocketry in a cold climate. Where I live its been consistently -20c to -25c (-4f to -13f). I finally got a project finished and went to launch it even though it was cold out and hopefully get some footage for a Youtube channel I want to start. Two of the cameras froze and shut off with out me noticing making the only footage I got coming from a cell phone. On top of that I bought a pack of E12 motors and two of them blew up, the second one blowing apart my motor mount. Is it all Estes E motors that suck and fail consistently. I thought it was just the E9s but man am I disappointed those E12s are $10 a pop where I live so having them just blow up feels like such a waste of time and money. Does anyone else live in a cold climate and have issues with rocketry? Does the cold effect the rocket engines?
