>>Can somebody give me a hint on how to set up a finished rudder on a
bench to balance it?<<

   I used two pieces of  aluminum angle stock from the local home supply store, drilled a hole at one end  for a nylon bushing. Clamped them to a bench with the bushing ends extending over the edge, then attached the rudder to the two pieces at the upper and lower hinges. The rudder is cantilevered to one side of the bench, but when balanced will rest horizontally in line with the angle stock and bench top.
