Problems with the default template you're using:
1) emphasis on aileron ribs too strong
2) wooden ribbing should only extend to just before the h-stabs on fuselage (there's a panel line it stops at). The tail itself was metal-covered, including the H- and V- stabs. The rudder and ailerons would be covered with fabric though. You need to remove the "ribs" from the stabilizers and from part of the tail.

Um, wasnt the front metal and the rear wood? About mid-cockpit it transitions from Metal to wood. At least on the mk I. Other than that, thanks! Been hoping for more Hurricanes!

Perhaps I wasn't very clear in my wording. From behind the cockpit the wooden frame was fabric covered. Once it reached the tail it became a stressed metal skin once more, and this includes the stabilizers themselves.
I hope this isn't too blurry, I had to scale it down from 3000 pixels wide

Check your mail

Danke Krusty! You rock! I tried to respond, but I think I broke Outlook Express... Know where I can get the newest version of it so I can send e-mails again?
-
Sorry I avoid all versions of Outlook. I even uninstalled them from the default windows install.
Anyways, if I knew where to send it I would. Do you have a web-based e-mail? Yahoo? gmail?

Why use Outlook Express when a better e-mail program is available and it is free?
Go get Mozilla Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/). You can import you Outlook settings.

Well, I use outlook to run an e-mail from a website. Can I do that with this program?
-
Thunderbird is what I use. It's a POP3 mail client. You need to already have the mail set up and you tell it the server location and the user name and all that jazz.
The thing about using thunderbird is that it converts from outlook and such, but you'll never be able to transition FROM it. I don't think anything else reads from thunderbird (should you ever switch in the future).
I got into it using Netscape Mail. Then that disappeared, and I didn't want to keep an ancient version of NS around just for the mail, so I switched. It's basically a stand-alone (and more stable) version of NS mail.
-
Excellent! Thats just what I need!
-
Alright, I got thunderbird, I set up my account (Serenity@kg200.org, POP3, incoming&outgoing servers mail.kg200.org) but it will not let me send anything. I click send, it prompts me for my password. I input my password and wait. 10 seconds later it prompts me for it again. And again. And again. I can receive mail just fine but I cannot send it :( For those of you who have it, can you help me figure out whats wrong?
-
try setting your outgoing to only "kg200.com" and check your mail before you send it. My mail server doesn't like relaying mail from unauthorized persons, so I have to "authorize" (log in, i.e. check me mail) first.
I'll send the images to that e-mail listed. [edit: the hotmail one]
-
I dont think thats it, when my CO sent me the POP info that was the adress he gave me, and it worked (for a while) on outlook express. And I checked my new mail. I could log in there with no problem, and I can read the mail, I just cannot send anything...
