Keith,
I have never come across any useful drawings of the M-84, but there is a paragraph or so and some photographs in Kent Mitchell's 'Fairchild Aircraft 1926-1987' - as you may know.

Another fairly basic source might be the FAA records on sole example, NX41893. I have them on my "wish list" for a future order from Oklahoma City.

The other source I can suggest is the NASM Archive. If you go onto to their website and use a search engine you should find a 1,071KB Adobe Acrobat document entitled, "Fairchild Finding Aid". If you then download and search this 271 page document you will find there are a number of files listed which relate to the M-84. Whether the information they contain will help you I cannot say as I have not seen them. The few files I have purchased so far, relating to Model 24 and 62 have turned out to be a mixed bunch, some with information I doubt I could have found elswhere and some which are just retreading old and somewhat incomplete data.

I recall being surprised a few years back to find the registration NC41833 was still assigned. I suspect this was just a paper aeroplane but it would be nice to think someone might have retained some original parts.
Hope this helps, Tony Broadhurst

'On the way back from Sun n Fun two days ago we stopped at Hagerstown, Md. to see the Fairchild
Museum. We got to the airport hoping to see some nice old stuff, maybe even a 71 or something like
that and found very little. We met one gent and he said something about a KR38 being in pieces somewhere
nearby and the carcass of a 24 for viewing in a nearby shopping centre display. Someone else mentioned
and old building downtown with some other archives in it.

I thought I remembered a couple of months ago someone on the list said there was a lot of Fairchild stuff
to see in Hagerstown. Can someone please clarify that ? The lads in Hagerstown said there might be
more to see in Farmingdale, Ny. Any ideas ? Thanks...

'I drove all the way from Denver to see it. It was a rainy morning....the
downtown "museum" didn't open until 10:00....and it took all of 15 minutes
to see everything there. I called one of the Fairchild Museum officers to
see if I could get to see airplanes...specifically an F24....and was told
that "the planes are in the hangar"....OK....can I see the planes in the
hangar? "Well...we don't want to open the hangar today"
So I drove home wondering why I am sending this outfit any money at all.

'That is very disappointing. I am a member and have sent them several
donations as well. I have not visited the museum. I did enjoy viewing the
DVD they put out about the history of Fairchild Hagerstown.
