Simplest graph ever. Basically a rectangle. No matter how much you put in the seats it stays within CG. What you put behind the seats will be the only thing that can put you out of the envelope.

The plane should be defueled, full oil, place it on jacks and level it, measure each wheel from the datum, note the distance and amount on the scale,
weight x arm =moment,
I had 44 on the main and -16 on the nose,
add all the weights, add all the moments, divide the moments by weight for CG
Don't forget to check and update your equipment list.
