Lander Losing Control After Lift-off #18

Description

No doubt, this is a wonderful mod that I love and choose to play with since the very first version. Unfortunately, recently I have an issue with the lander control namely it will begin to pitch down and barely control (even if I using mechjeb and trying to increase the reaction wheel force). This happen when using either VTOL or built-in engine. The TCA mod will indirectly fix the VTOL issue but not for the built-in engine. I've tried to inspect with the aerodynamics forces overlay which I think that something is not right (as you can see the very large force shown in screenshot of below).

KSP: 1.3.1.1891 Windows 64bit
