BMX bikes are not used for mainly speed.
The propellers of a Mavic spin at several hundreds of RPM, if they are heavy, there will be more strain on the motors and the battery will run down faster.
BMX racing is still racing, outright speed or not.. just an example of thinking out of the box and not being narrow sighted. plus, when did i ever ask for outright speed?
the poly folding blades weight a lot themselves because they are folding and a compromised design for sake of portability. i'm sure DJi if they really wanted to could make non folding poly blades that weigh slightly less and are more efficient but that would defeat the design purpose of the mavic pro that's why they haven't, not because they cant or its worse.. . im sure alot of alternative options are heavier because they are built to a price and design philosophy constraint... not a spared no expense design and creation..
if i understood more about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics i wouldnt asked a single question about it here, i would be spending day in and day out creating my own. i have a CNC machine and 3D printers and various materials from titanium to tungsten to aluminium, plob a bucket full of other ingots of great metals. as well as various carbon fiber kits including aircraft grade carbon fiber (if that even exists, i dont know)
back on topic here, if anyone knows of any alterntitives that they used and had decent results and wish to share, carbonfiber or not.. please share.
