These large model planes have been used in the past in UAV related Research and Development work.
The SIG Kadet Senior, from http://www.sigmfg.com/IndexText/SIGRC58ARFB.html
The SIG Kadet Senior has a huge 2m wingspan. The wing has a large surface area, allowing this plane to carry a payload such as a camera.
With its remarkably light wing loading, you can transform the Senior into a flying platform for still or video cameras, lighting systems, parachute drops or glider tows without fear of overload.
With its combination of large control surfaces and a high power-to-weight ratio, flying the Senior is a dream.
Like all SIG ARFs, the Kadet Senior ARF is 90% assembled, using only the finest material, then expertly covered with premium Oracover(r) polyester film. A complete hardware package including top quality nylon and metal parts is included as well as an 8-ounce fuel tank and wheels. A fully illustrated, comprehensive assembly manual takes you from box to field in a few, short hours.

For aerobatics or carrying heavy loads we’ve included wing struts and secure mounting points that will help the huge wing carry heavier positive G loads. Ready Built Senior Telemaster has a two-piece wing. You can haul it in a small car. Almost all hardware is included in the airplane's box: Wheels, steerable tail wheel, hinges, pushrods, control horns, and more.
Here's how it comes out of the box...

The new SIG Rascal 110 ARF kit offers you one of the largest, easiest to fly R/C model airplanes ever. The quality of this product is second to none and will likely become the new standard for all other manufacturers to follow. The Rascal 110 ARF is a true " giant-scale" , IMAA-size sport model that provides outstanding flying characteristics, using a wide range of engines, including two and four-stroke glow engines, as well as smaller gas engines.
from http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?& I=SIGA6200
The design follows the extremely popular SIG Rascal kit, the Rascal ARF and the newer Rascal Forty ARF. The scale-like lines are decidedly from the " Golden Age" of aviation, making the airplane so realistic in appearance, it could be easily mistaken for a full-scale aircraft out of the thirties or post-WWII era.
The Rascal 110 ARF is the perfect aircraft for onboard video or camera work. Properly powered, it would make a great glider tug and using off-the-shelf lighting systems it makes a great R/C night flyer.
