This applies both for the Fireflash nuclear engine and the project Eeloo engine

A possible solution:
Locate the two .cfg files in \GameData\NearFutureAeronautics\Parts\Engine\Atomic (corresponding to J-N500 and J-N160), and comment out "CoMOffset = 0.0, 3.5, 0.0". This will restore the center of mass of these two engines to a relatively reasonable position.

Before: before

After: after

This is intended, in the same pattern as the stock jet engines, both of these engines only represent the combustion region of the nacelle and have an offset CM to reprsent the large mass of turbomachinery that would be in front of them.
