Default 400 mph Model Airplane
Check out this video of a 400mph model airplane in Europe. Doubt you could fly it in USA but amazing to watch:

Plenty of turbine powered models being flown here, in the 150 to 200+ MPH range. Our national aeromodeling association requires a turbine waiver for safety regs.
