Roger. How is your yaw thruster problem? Over.

This is Friendship Seven. I am getting some erratic indications in all axes. When I align everything on orbit attitude by the instruments I am considerably off where I should be. I'm rolled some 20° to the right; I'm also yawed to the right a little bit. Over.

Roger, understand. Are you satisfied with the fly-by-wire and manual proportional systems? Over.

Fly-by-wire is not functioning in yaw low right. Over.

Roger, low yaw right.
