Old Timers...Blackwell kits

Years ago, I built a Balckwell T-100 kit.. out of the blue, recently, I acquired a new, in the box, Blackwell kit of the Hurricane 600 vintage 1961 as printed on the plans. Was designed as a low wing

600 sq in plane with ailerons and the box says it will work on rudder only or rudder elevator and motor or "full house"..all with reeds of course. So, I had never heard of this kit and rather than "use it up", I will scratch build it. Am wondering...anyone know if Blackwell made other kits or any of the history of the company? Frank

My bad case of "brick brain" (hardening of the arteries), must be worse than I thought. I've never heard of a Blackwell kit and I used to scour the model mags big time during that time period.
