The FG-1E was not one of the corncob powered F2G's, it was a night fighter derived from a normally R-2800 powered FG-1A with radar attached to the right wing like the later F4U-5N. Interesting note about the F2G's, the F4U-4 and later variants with R-2800s were actually faster than the F2G's...

Actually according to my records, there were 8 FG-1E built. I don't think they were actually used, though.
