CRJ-900 pilot eye to maingear height?

So, I've been flying Bombardier CRJ200/700/900 (nearly all 7/9s) for the last couple of years, at least until SARS-CoV-2 got me laid off. Now I'm back to flying owner's planes in GA. It's been rather humbling flaring and & landing planes I used to think nothing off before I went to the airlines. My flare height is now consistently too high! I knew it would be different, but I'm shocked at how less than two years flying only the CRJ has screwed what was 35 years in GA, flying some 40 or 50 types. Obviously I'm aware of the problem and am consciously flying lower in the flare to correct it. Still frustrating though.

Anyway, out of curiosity, anyone know what the cockpit eye-to-mainwheel height is for the -900? Or where to get the info? I've looked at Bombardier's website but nothing seemed relevent.
