OK, here's my first attempt. Times for three laps:

1:38

1:38

1:39

Slow, but consistent. You'll also see that I overdid the size a bit, at 237 m. Even though it didn't always go around the WPs, I think I'm OK on distance.

I'm using a Parkzone Radian with standard power system, APM2560, Ublox GPS, no airspeed sensor, and Xbee downlink. Flying at 80% throttle setting. It doesn't really want to go faster with any more. I got about 10 s out of the lap time by tuning the PIDs, but you can see there's more to be had. Things were even more S-shaped to begin with.
