The Taylorcraft Model F-19 Sportsman is a two-seat cabin monoplane designed and
built by Taylorcraft Aircraft as the first new product of the reformed
Taylorcraft Aviation Company. The F-19 fuselage is a fabric-covered 4130 steel
tube framework; its wing was fabric-covered wood. It has conventional landing
gear and a tractor configuration 100 hp (75 kW) Continental O-200 engine.

C.G. Taylor and his brother formed the Taylor Brothers Aviation Corporation in
1929, which had produced several thousand light single-engines by the time it
went bankrupt in 1946. It emerged in 1947 as Taylorcraft Inc. and produced light
airplanes until 1958, when it ceased production. In 1968 a new company,
Taylorcraft Aviation Corporation, was formed, primarily to provide support for
the thousands of airplanes still in the field. However, in 1973 this company
geared up to produce an updated Taylorcraft B, now named the Model F-19
Sportsman. It was similar to the Model B but incorporated more power, which
resulted in better performance. Production continued until early 1980, when the
company chose to switch to the higher-powered Model F-21.
