Well I found this picture of a design that was pretty much what I was thinking about. It has a crayford helical focuser from KineOptics, a wire spider and uses 6 trusses and a minimal mirror box.... I was like, BINGO! I was surprised to find it. I am more or less going to shrink this down.

Just wanted to say thanks to Alan Scott for displaying his build online for others to get ideas from.
