Roger, Friendship Seven. We will standby while you do your yaw maneuver. Over.

Roger, understand.

Going to manual control.

Correction, going to fly-by-wire. Over.

Roger, understand on fly-by-wire for yaw maneuver.

That's affirmative.

This is Friendship Seven, having no trouble controlling on fly-by-wire. Drift is coming around at about 1° per second, and holding attitude okay in other axes. Over.

Roger. Check drift at 1° per second and holding attitude okay all axes, I have your retrosequence time for Area 1 Charlie.

Standby. Will get it later; I'm in the middle of yaw maneuver at present time. Over.

Standing by.

This is Friendship Seven at 60° right yaw, and holding temporarily. Over.

Roger. 60° right yaw and holding.

Attitudes all well within limits. I have no problem holding attitude with fly-by-wire at all. Very easy. Over.

Roger, check fly-by-wire is very easy. Our telemetry checks all your systems out okay. Are you ready for retrosequence time?

Negative, not yet. I'll pick it up possibly at next station if I lose contact with you. I'm still on manual control here on fly-by-wire. Over.

Understand.
