Hi Squidy,

Looking forward to watching the progress on this bus.
Does the centre of gravity make rolling the bus dangerous? Can you roll it single handed or do you need help? I was planning on making a 12 sided version but was thinking the round one would be easier to move on you own. Do you know the diameter?

Cheers,

Rod.
