what is needed is to place a movable ballance weight within the trangle shape of the truss. quite what mechanicsm you would employ to move the ballance weight to keep things level i dont know. and then theres the issue of one balloon sheilding the other from wind which would also cause instability.
maybe a better solution would be one circular platform suspended from a ring. that ring would then have a single balloon dead centre above it. to secure the ballon, a string ring sits above the balloon which filled with helium would ensure it pushes up on the ring.
pit an extremely sharp pin on the tip of the rocket so when it launches, it goes up, pops the balloon and goes through the string ring that the balloon was seated in.
just dont look up when its on its way back down...
