Thin film solar panel for RC aircraft

Monkeyman87 said:

Just an idea I had. Would thin film solar panels have a small enough weight to power ratio for powering an electric RC model? If they were mounted on the top of the main wing the would be hit directly by sunlight on sunny days. They seem to have a pretty good power output and they are only .1cm thick I my memory is correct. Has anyone ever tried this or wanted to?
