Have MaxQ affect only part of a model?

[JohnnyPanzer]

I'm making some all-in-one probes with buildt-in RT-antennas (among other things), and I've encountered a problem while writing the patches for RT. Since the antennas are animated and actually fold out of the model, I want MaxQ to affect them as per usual in RemoteTech, but the game freaks the hell out since the antennas are also the command pod and thereby the root node. Instead of snapping the pod off the rocket, it simply turns it off and sends the rocket off on an infinite journey with unchanged velocity. If the rocket was pointing at the ground at the moment of MaxQ, the pod smashes into the ground and just keeps going through the entire planet while exploding every few seconds.

Now, I tried manually changing the root of the rocket to a fuel tank underneath the pod, and that made MaxQ work as intended. It would appear that the game does NOT like it when the root part sheers off due to dynamic preassure. I also made sure to test the part with MaxQ edited out of the patch, and it worked like a charm. It's also worth mentioning that the part works as intended in stock KSP, and that I am testing using dedicated installs, one clean vanilla and one with RemoteTech and Module Manager as the only mods.

So now I have three options:

1. Force users (if I ever release the parts) to manually change the root of their rockets to avoid the bug. Not exactly an optimal solution.

2. Make the pod unaffected by MaxQ. Simple enough, but a bit boring since the antennas fold out and sure LOOK like they'd break under preassure.

3. Find a way to make MaxQ affect only specific meshes within the model.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I should also point out that I'm not good at coding, and that I've just begun to tweak (mostly using copy/paste) the MM patch files, so I'm sure they are currently less than optimal. With that said, I'll include both the part .cfg and the current RT-patch below. If nothing else, it'll give you something to snicker at.
