Fay Wray in the front seat, Kong in the back. Both now retired. But like I said, they didn't seem to affect position of the the CG in the fuel & payload scematic. Mind you I didn't attempt to fly the plane with that load.

Based on the SDK, I've adjusted the position numbers, and also adjusted the elevator effectiveness rating in the .cfg. I now have the aircraft lifting off in a reasonable distance with its nose in the air like a normal plane.

Sounds like you have a winner.  Don't know much about SDK's and other technical stuff of FS but do know a little about planes - enough to know that wherever the 600 lb guy was loaded, that plane would have a tough time getting airborne.
