There’s a guy who had flown his RC glider to 498mph clocked with a radar gun. Might have hit 550mph when it wasn’t being clocked. I certainly wouldn’t want to be hit with that!
Video at link of glider doing 468mph.

I have seen that and it is awesome, but lethal in the wrong hands. The kinetic power on impact of the grapefruit-sized titanium mini-turbofan powering it would go through an airliner turbofan like a cannonball, for example.
That is actually the premise of “the runway kill zone”! (see tag line)
