| The mounting sales of the Fairchild 22 Model C7A induced the company to produce what was basically an enclosed cabin version of that aircraft. To achieve this, the configuration was changed to that of a braced high-wing monoplane, the resulting cabin seating two side-by-side. Other changes included the introduction of a tailwheel, and the initial Fairchild 24 Model C8 was powered by a 71kW A.C.E. Cirrus (licence-built) Hi-Ace 4-cyclinder inverted inline engine. Most variants were available with optional float or ski landing gear. Certificated during April 1932, the basic Fairchild 24 Model C8 was produced to the extent of only 10 examples, but these modest numbers, like those of the initial Model C7, soon created interest and new orders.

I am extremely thankful for the professional assistance given me. I was tired of being declined loans due to my old past mistakes, until a realtor recommended their services. In less than 15 days they helped me erase negative items and boosted my score to excellent across all three bureaus. Contact them via ROOTKITSCREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM, don’t forget to mention me. reply | | James Barret, e-mail, 03.11.2023 20:40 I strongly recommend 760Plus Credit Score. They really helped me so much, after already paying a con-artist who just took my money and did nothing for over a year, I discovered 760PLUSCREDITSCORE AT GMAIL DOT COM in a credit forum, they immediately showed results and even guided me on what my best solution for my trade in for a new vehicle would be with a lower approximate % and not to mention how well they inform me and explain to me everything that's going on with my credit. Thank you the team at 760Plus. reply | | Philippe Sorin, e-mail, 20.01.2023 20:24 Hello,

Trahan, e-mail, 16.12.2013 16:54 A friend of mine in the 50's owned a F-24, I owned a PT 26. We were flying his 24 when we experienced a difficult time keeping the right wing level, especially after a right turn. We decided to land at the nearest airport, (Willamantic, CT). Upon inspection we found the right wing gas tank had sprung a leak causing the gas to slosh around within the wing causing our dificulties. All the while my friend was constantly smoking. The mechanic who inspectyed the problem informed us that this was not uncommon.
In this same time period in my part of CT there were four PT-26s. I do not find a web site that acknowledges this unique air craft. reply | | Bob Kusterer, e-mail, 18.09.2013 01:42 The only Fairchilds I have flown are the PT-19, PT-23, and PT-26. Why are they not listed? They were extensively used WW2 trainers. Our glider club used a PT-23 as a tow plane. I used to tow gliders up and then do aerobatics on the way down. I loved this plane. reply | | Ron Kron, e-mail, 09.02.2013 05:37 Does anyone know why the Ranger powered PT-19 was left off this Fairchild site ?? reply | | James, e-mail, 27.07.2011 16:25 Erin I need a new prop if you still have it? reply | | Erin, e-mail, 09.05.2011 17:46 I have a wood prop , never mounted .

The plane was owned by the Women's Junior Air Corps, and went around the country giving flights to members. On my first flight I was told the plane cruised at 120mph at 1200'. The airfields I flew from were White Waltham, Denham and Shoreham-on-Sea. I understand dear G-AIYO was withdrawn from service at White Waltham in 1958. It was the WJAC's first 'Grey Dove' - two others, of different types, followed. The pilots were all ATA 'spitfire' women during the war. Freydis is still alive, aged 89. Diana died 2 years ago, aged 90. reply | | John Pratt, e-mail, 05.03.2011 14:33 New to this site and dissapointed when I find such limited info on an airplane that I'm so familiar with ! The final version of this craft was built in the forties, had four seats, no bracing on the wheel struts, a Warner 125 or a Ranger 200. The mentioned model would not lift floats at all and even the 200 Ranger was a dog on glass water with a run of miles. I converted one of my 24s to a Jacob 275 on floats it was great but nose-heavy. When I see this info I have to wonder about the info on other aircraft! reply |

| | Mark Globuschutz, e-mail, 30.10.2010 20:13 Was this the model that was made in Burlington, NC as trainer during the war? reply | | Don Speroni, e-mail, 10.08.2010 00:08 My dad had a 24R on floats in the early 50's, based at Carl Evers Seaplane base in the Bronx. He bought a 200hp Ranger surplus for $ 200. instead of overhauling the existing engine. We needed to land for oil not gas. Was a dog on the water on a hot, no wind day. reply | | Edwin Hooper, e-mail, 05.01.2010 04:07 The above aircraft shows a inline engine. Which would be an 185 or 200 hp ranger. Not a radial warner engine as the specification chart reads. This fairchild is known as a fairchild 24R. The one wiyh the radial engine is 24W reply | | flyingairy, e-mail, 13.12.2008 21:08 please find everything about our historic F24R S /N 998 ex USAAF 44-83037, ex RAF KK380 being registered in civil aircraft french register by Louis Breguet himself in 1948.
Now flying as F-AZCI

I am considering a UC-61 for my next aircraft. I have 400+ hours mostly in tail draggers (Cessna 170B and Piper Cub) will this be an easy tail dragger to transition into considering my background with the 170B (300 hours)?
