Immediately after WW2 Fairchild turned to the personal aircraft market. Described as a PT-23 trainer with a four-seat cabin fitted immediately aft of the trainer’s rear seat. The PT-23 wings and centre section were utilised, as well as the same engine and mount, but an NACA cowling was installed and a constant speed airscrew fitted.
The undercarriage was similar to that of the T-6 Texan.
The resulting M.84C was certified but only one prototype was built.
The sole M.84C was turned over to one of the schools in Hagerstown, Maryland, where it was used as an instructional item until finally broken up.
