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.Jerry Beck II

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.
