The design above is indeed stable and the pylon definition is pretty reasonable to specify. Also the Tau Zero has been modelled effectively. Which version and build are you using (118)? I would imagine that the changes adding pods in 9 should have some impact on the calculations - specifically drag components off the main tube.
