RC planes can hit speeds over 150mph with the fastest jet powered ones much faster. They can also have flight times of dozens of hours, a modified RC plane made a flight from Canada to Ireland [0]. Drones also don't need real-time control. They can fly a pre-programmed route or have minimal input and just be told to head to a way given waypoint (or series of them). A well positioned direction VHF or UHF can give a control channel from miles away especially if there's no need for real-time imagery.
