I spoke to Neville at the Ferretworks last night (day?).
The current recommendation is to adjust the legs so that they are only just
clear of the ground unladen. With pilot on board both will be in contact and
fully laden will have pressure on them.
He also stated that there have now been three lengths of leg - classic,
original XS and now a longer XS.
Another recommendation, if lengthening the leg was to use a short length of
old leg to back the root of the new leg within the socket.
I ordered new outriggers for both ZK-TSK and ZK-UBD last night.

Outrigger lengths
Although my Europa is in the hangar at present so I can't measure it, I do
know I was sent a pair of extended legs with the tailwheel mod. I seem to
recall the instructions calling out about 1-2 inches space between each
wheel
and the ground with wings level and thats about what I've got. It does flex
a
little when the wheel touches ground in either direction. Doesn't give me
any
real problems although it did seem a bit strange at first till I got used to
the tipping sensation.
Happy landings!
