03 06 25
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Okay. You are commanding it on. All righty, we'll give you the word on it then. What is the status of your other platform modes, Molly Brown — BEF or Free?

03 06 36
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): What is the status of your other platform modes, such as BEF and Free?
03 06 45
Gus Grissom: Well SEF is fine. Orbit Rate is the one that drives me off in roll. I haven't checked BEF yet. I'll go ahead and give it a check now.
03 06 53
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Okay.
03 06 57
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): How long does it take you to build up this quarter degree rate in that yaw rate, starting from zero yaw rate?
03 07 03
Gus Grissom: Gordo, it just gradually accelerates. It's some slow leak out there.
03 07 10
Gordon Cooper (CapCom): Roger. Are you satisfied with obtaining and holding your attitudes visually?
03 07 15
Gus Grissom: Roger, and the platform is alining properly in SEF.
