seems to me in the early part of the 1900's the governments in a large power grab modified your fee simple rights as landowners to allow air craft and such to over fly your property. But the bundle of rights you got with the property when you bought it does give you some rights and if it's flying low enough AND you get creative you should be able to prevent further intrusions. This could mean you establish a shooting range, raise the range flag and by golly you don't know how that stray shot hit the plane to finding some way to jam the control frequency or even giving it an overdose of EMRs. Creative use of fire works could take it out as well as your own RC device.

Now if it's definitely a video camera on a toy plane and your pretty sure it isn't big brother flying it I would expect you have a reasonable right to privacy on your own property and any action you take to disable the plane might cause the owner to sue you or raise a stink with the law, you would have to counter sue with an invasion of privacy and trespass. If it is big brother and you're really bored I suppose you could sue for violation of you rights to unreasonable search and seizure, but it'll cost you a lot of money.

Of course I'm not a lawyer so you might want to contact one.

Or you could erect tents and camo netting and really screw with them, maybe even make it appear nefarious activities are in progress and watch the fire works. Could be an interesting case when it hits the courts.

If it's a cheap camera you could erect or lay out things on the ground that might get the peeping tom to identify themselves (thinking manikins or blow up dolls in pools of blood) or do some "suspicious" gardening and see what happens, D.A. s and judges get a little up tight when they have to admit they issued a warrant to seize alfalfa plants being grown in a suspicious manner and explain how they came into your knowledge of alfalfa cultivation
