O.K. I said 6' with full charge, but still to be able to take off in even less than 10' is great for me. I can land and take off all day.. I used a small piece of a pop can to make the tail skid, very light. My 1st set of wheels was made from paper clip, hot wheels, and sm. plastic wedge. worked great but was very heavy at 2.3 grams. Buttons will work but I had a heck of a time drilling the center hole. Besides the tail wheels you can get your LHS. To hold my wheels in place I just used a sm. piece of a O ring.
