Spacelog Mercury 6

Cape recommends that you reenter on ASCS with manual for backup.

Roger, this is Friendship Seven. Understand recommend ASCS with manual backup.

This, this operation of ASCS has been very erratic. I have not been able to pin it down to any particular, one particular item. It went off one direction in yaw at one time; it went off the other the next time. I felt for a little while that pitch was drifting. It seemed to have a little stuck thrust in pitch at one time and I have to keep correcting that and that corrected itself and then I was off in roll just after I came off the dark side this time. Over.

Roger, understand. I have all that down. Could you give us a blood pressure please?

Roger. Standby.
