I forgot to post this footage last year, so I'm posting this now in response to someone who asked how fast could a relatively stock powered Goblin reach out a mile and back.
edit - correcting bad math
Roughly 63 seconds out and back, for an average speed of 114mph.
Using cumulative distance from the OSD in the same time, 125mph average.
Then followed it up with a 171mph dive.
There was about a 20mph quartering crosswind for the cabin run, and did the 171mph run straight downwind.
Have draggy Runcam2 embedded in canopy, and I was using a dipole for video at the time (now Singularity inside).
