What is wrong with my craft?

[RoninFrog]

So I have this craft called "uni2"  (unicycle, version 2) that absolutely destroys the the integrity of the game when I load it.  I've spent several hours designing the craft, and I'd like to figure out how to remedy the situation if possible.  Any ideas?  Here's a kerbalX link:  Link

Here is a video of some of the symptoms:

Things I've tried already:

- Quitting and restarting the game
- Deleting the .loadmeta file
- Uploading and re-downloading from KerbalX

Have you looked at the logs?

Try editing (a copy of) the craft file and change one part at a time to be a different part e.g. strutCube, that might narrow down which part(s) are responsible.

clearly there is some bug somewhere.

not being a pc expert, i can suggest alternative low-tech options

- try to remove parts one by one, see if eventually it works. figure out if a single part was responsible.

- try to rebuild the thing from scratch. you said it took you hours, but it's only 26 parts, and now that you have the final design, you should be able to replicate it in minutes

- try to rebuild the thing from scratch, one piece at a time, starting with just the command pod and the wheel. try to launch frequently. see at which point it stops working.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out what was wrong so I ended up making a new craft.  The main issue with rebuilding is there were a lot of super finnicky angles and positionings that had to be exactly perfect.  I got it done though.
