A balance system for a rotational airfoil assembly includes a bulkhead, an elongated member, a support member and at least one balance weight. The elongated member extends through the bulkhead along a bore toward a tip segment of the airfoil assembly. The balance weights are mounted to a tip segment of the elongated member positioned within the bore proximate to a mid-span segment of the airfoil assembly. A reduced quantity of weight is required to balance the airfoil assembly because of the location of the balance weights outside of the mid-span segment of the airfoil assembly.
