The double rudder was used to keep them out of the spray trail.
Jhieminga there are quite a few variants of the SM-1: ten if my online research is right!
Which one is this and (apart from the plaque shown in the linked series of photos) what 'firsts' did it achieve?

I'll have to pass, I haven't dug into the story of these Stinsons as much as you have. I figured that first Diesel powered flight would be one of them but you stated that there should be two more, including the electric starter. That leaves one or am I missing something?
