SSTUInterstageFairing - Crazy mass

I really like the new interstage petal adapter, it has nice nodes particularly for launching with a lander underneath your crew (like the Saturn V)
I thing there might be an error in the calculation of the mass, however. I have a 6.25m base at 32.6T, and a 7.5m base at 77.5T. If I do a similar shape with the Customizable Wide Fairing (which doesn't have the nodes I need, which is why I really like the interstage petal adapter) it weighs about 4T. Even just taking the mass calculator for the IPA by an order of magnitude would be a huge improvement
Was using a default volume for the base to determine its mass as if it were a 1m tall cylinder @ defaultDiameter; which resulted in a fairly insane mass for the base part alone.. the panels were as they should.
Have adjusted it so that the base volume can now be set in the config, and set some more sane values for the defaults (1m / 1t dry weight for the base @ 5m diameter + whatever for the panels; cubic scaling to other sizes).
