Yes, the nosewheel should be off the ground.

The 20 lb force (if memory serves me correctly) won't even make the nose wheel budge if it is on the ground...well...if your engine is mounted.

Yes, off the ground. Use a fish scale available at Ace Hardware to measure the force. Go at least 20 lbs. This force keeps the nosewheel stable and is very important.
