Still trying for an Eve SSTO but need some help

I'm having issues with the propellers. It works fine on Kerbin, but on Eve its impossible to control. Its like the CoL moves forward, and the plane wants to point retrograde once I get to a certain altitude. I can close the propeller service bays to regain control but lose control when I open them again. I guess I can try moving the propellers to the back of the plane, but would prefer them in the front to move the CoM forward since theres already a lot of weight with the engines on back. Anyone know whats happening?

New all-in-one ship design I'm working on

Here I'm undocking the ISRU lander. I wanted to design a ship that wasn't lugging around unused lander engines by having them used as part of the main engines too. The lander also has all the science tools that can be used while landed, while the main ship has the science tools that can only be used in orbit along with a lab. The lander can make it to orbit of kerbin on its own, so it should be able to handle most planets and moons. I still need to test if the whole ship has enough delta v to make it from planet to planet.
