Estes has an all foam twin engine electric ducted-fan plane out with a tiny digital camera mounted on top like a spy plane... If I did this right, you should be able to click on this picture to go to a link where you can read more or purchase... Tower Hobbies carries it too...

It's controled by engine thrust (asymetrical thrust) only and isn't the easiest thing in the world to fly (needs calm wind) but the darn thing works and does take good pictures...
The thumbnail (second picture) is a picture I just took on the first flight of mine... BTW, I flew it in about a 15 knot wind and that was NOT a good idea... but it should be easier to handle on a calm day... There is a button on the controler which will snap up to 26 pics and it comes with the cable to upload your pictures to your PC... Dave
