Mod where Engines autogimbal towards COM

Hi all,

I'm revisiting my quest for a shuttle like space plane.

SP+ to build a shuttle, which includes all non booster engines

A strap on fueltank (belly mounted)

Boosters for additional take off speed.

I have tried fiddling with how much the current engines can gimbal (even to extreme degrees) but they don't seem to be able to keep the pitch steady.

If the engines are mounted at an angle it will work until enough fuel has been spent to move the COM enough to make the SAS give up. Ditching the belly tank will immediately flip the shuttle.

So is there an engine or a mod i can use that helps the "gimbaling" of the engines to properly thrust into the COM?

The actual shuttle design, glideness and what have you i'm sure i can work out (i have built several successfull SSTO space planes). I'm just looking for a new challenge and a faster way to send up cargo to LKO
