So looking at these pictures gave me the idea that all I have to do is apply spring tension to the joystick handle to help it stay in float. Using a bell crank, spring, and adjustment screw I should be able to build a device that applies spring pressure to the bottom rear of the joystick and have it adjustable as well. Well the week is near and maybe I can build it then.

My opinion, I doubt if the specifications on this float stated that it was supposed to drop out of float on rough ground. Therefore, it is not working properly. PT did offer to sell me a repair kit for $70 (or around that). Why a repair kit if it is working properly? It seems to me the kit should be free. So I used the bungee cord. It works good, but is ugly.
