Does anyone happen to know if its still stable when shortened up by removing the payload section?

It should be. It is one of LOC's more stable rockets.

I've put the Barrwoman Equations into a spreadsheet. Posted to alt.binaries.models.rockets.

Not fully automated, a little bit of double entry, but "fairly" easy to use.

I loaded Rocksim 7.0 with the LOC Weasel file found at EMRR

I loaded a nice Ellis H50 into it and it was marginally stable via barrowman and stable via rock sim.

6949 feet

I next loaded a Ellis G35 into it and it was stable via barrowman and overstable via rock sim

4036 feet

My favorite engine on a full length Weasel is the I-69 in the shortened one it is barly stable, but shows 8018 feet.

There is no such thing as over stable.

Dude! That's what Rocsim is for. Eh?

Yes, there most certainly is. An over stable rocket will weathercock and turn into a horizontal missile if there is any appreciable wind.

Thanks for your helpful answer. I don't have Rocksim (yet). Maybe soon.
