    I think it has something to do with the drag, mainly from the two big engines on the sides. Currently I'm building the Prometheus spaceship and I have the exact same problem. It spins out due to the drag from the sidemounted engines. Maby you could try placing a nosecone on them, if that doesn't affect the design too much.
