What's the advantage (if any) of having a moving vertical fin? And are there any other aircraft with a similar system?
Dunno about advantages but as mentioned above the Mooney had a similar system. I noticed one parked at Denham once with the elevator trim presumably wound nose up - the fin was leaning forward a little and I thought it must have been damaged - hadn't realised the whole tail unit moved.
