I'm sorry if this breaks into a current thread, or rehashes anything
already discussed, 'cause I just caught up and haven't read recent
postings. 

	Anyway, I've seen a couple of postings that gave addresses
where solar cells could be purchased, namely 'Real Goods', and one
other that I can't remember now. I received catalogs from those folks,
but they don't carry the individual cells, only large panels. I'm
looking for a 'cheap' source where I can get some cells that are
comperable to those sold by Radio Shack (Arrrgggg!!!). I'm trying to
construct a small airplane that will be solar powered, and would like
to keep the cost of the cells down. 
	I purchased some from 'All Electronics', but they were pretty
worthless, and were basically unsolderable. I'm in the Las Cruces,
El Paso (Urggg!) area, and can't seem to find any among local
suppliers (even though there is supposed to be a manufacturing plant
here). 
	Thanks in advance, and if I get enough response, I'll post a
summary to the net.
