            Ayup Race 57's rudder is split. The bottom part kicks over to the right automatically when the flaps are extended to try to cope with the acres of P-factor.

              Indeed, my understanding is that it was a "standard" part of the Super Corsair modification.

                    Only a few of the 'later' F2G's had the split rudder.

                      It was added to some of the F2gs at the factory to offset the increased torque of the 4360 during take off.
                      The below link will give you a little history of the F2g & you can see from the photos & profiles which planes had the taller fin.



                      Interestingly:
                      The blue & white Corsair Race #74 does not have the taller fin & was also owned by Cook Clealand who owned Race #57. It(#74) was bought in 1953 by Walter Soplata & stored out in the open on his farm in Newbury, Oh. In 1997, the Western Reserve Hist. Society of Cleveland, Oh. purchased the aircraft & at the present time, the W.R. Hist. Society is having Robert Odegaard of Kindred, N. Dakota restore the aircraft for static display. It would sure be nice to see these 2 sisters gracing the pylons together after half a century. Oh well we can dream.
