I think you mean the XNQ ? It was a prototype built by Fairchild trying to compete with the Temco T-35 and the Beech model 45 (T-34) and of course we know who one. There is currently a restored XNQ-1 flying, kind of looks like a T-28 taildragger. I'll scan and send you a picture..............Roger

As Roger states it was a trainer trying to get in on the T34/T28 era market. Obviously it didnt win! I always tell people it looks like a small taildragger T28. Don Pellegreno owns it and is based a few miles west of Justin, Texas. It was covered in a Sport Aviation article awhile back. Neat bird!
