I want float and stability

If you’re going for a stable Yoyo, I think you should add a tiny bit more rim weight.

You’re welcome!
Are those Rim fittings?
Could you define what you consider “float”? I’ve heard different people say different things.

They are all one piece, so it’s not a bi-metal. If that answers your question 
Float is basically just not playing like a rock to me

You can add a lot of rim weight before a yoyo becomes bricky. If you want to keep those chief-esque rings in the cup, I don’t think any amount of rim weight will make it feel like a brick.
If you’re that worried, make the hub area (behind the bearing) a bit thicker to add a bit of centerweight.

Thank you 
I think I figured out where the name Moose comes from!
Give it a go

The cutaway looks like antlers!
Also, I mocked it up in fusion and the rim weight is fine, thought you have a lot of room to add more if you wish.
I used Zach lerner’s “rim weightedness” estimation process and it came to 54.1%, where the desirable range is 50-65%. 50% being unstable, 65% being super stable.

Looks like a beast to QC
What is QC?
You hit the nail on the head! Also moose are the biggest of the deer family and this is a big yo-yo.

Sorry if this is a poor question, but where do you think the clyw bear vs man round 2 fits on this scale? Unless you haven’t tried it that is
Floaty is a light, stable feel on the string, especially the feel when it hits the string. Lighter feeling yo-yos in general. The YYF Dogma is a bit floaty, the shutter not so much. Probably a ratio of width to diameter and rim weight among other factors.
Haven’t played it. The only CLWY I have is a Compass, which has a profile similar to your moose, but a very different cup.
