I've been trying NOT to want a multirotor ever since starting in this hobby but space is so limited where I live and it makes it hard for me to stick to my flying wings and get any kind of flight time so I'm going to start a slow build of a tricopter. I have always built cheap but strong so that will be what I will be working towards. Though I may be asking for your help I will update the original post as I gather information, build my tricopter and test out the features.
Multirotor operators, please make suggestions to me on the following!

Multirotor operators, please make suggestions to me on the following!
Project requirements
- Must utilize a 2200mah 20C battery (or 2 in parallel) - I know it is a low C rating but I'm not looking for acrobatics, I actually want a sluggish copter that feels more like a fixed wing if possible.
- Must use larger props (around 8in) for max flight time, common props are desired.
Project goals
- Experience FPV through a 700TVL board camera
- Keep the cost down (looking to use ESCs and Motors that are less than $10 - $15 each)
- Scratch build everything (I want to use all wood for the frame)
- Make it foldable
- I don't care what control board I use I just want the cheapest I can find, I got more than a decade of video game tailored muscle memory that can take over for bad stabilization
