Michel,
The "normal" gap is mostly a matter of personal preference I think. I
had the length of the outriggers set so both outriggers just touch
with the aircraft fully loaded. I just replaced my Air trac 700x6 (320
hrs,some checking in the sidewall) with the same new tire and it sits
a wee bit higher now. I also replaced the tailwheel.
I'm not sure that there is a factory specification for the example
drawing you attached?
This will change as your rubber shock block gets older, too, as well
as tire pressure.
