This is the new RMRC sourced Strix Goblin, piloted LoS before adding any FPV gear. In this configuration it runs over 130mph. Here you can see how fast it is and the very long approach it takes to land it visually. I recommend landing it via FPV instead, by burning off all altitude early, and then flying it low and slow until you're near LZ and then cut throttle to float in. If you start your approach with any altitude, you'll run long every time. With FPV gear it slows down a little quicker, which helps.
Note: Almost every time I saw "1/3rd throttle" in the vid it was really 1/4 throttle, and when I say 1/4 throttle it's really closer to 1/8. It really does fly on almost nothing, and I was misreading the marks on my Tx (can't take my eyes off the plane for long).
