with how nice a control system i t was.
We made
several maneuvers using this control Eystem and
didn't have any gripes on that system at all .
As
Gordo said we were really impressed wjth the
Rate Command system.
When you turned around 90 degrees in crder to get
rid of the REP, did you use the 8-ball ?
Yes.
FDI 's are on this Gimbal flip bus i ness too, you
see .
They do that in the trainer, but they were
steady as a rock in the spacecraft.
Yes, we used the FDI's for t he fine al ine .
Al­
though to get there we used the 8-ball.
We had trained to use the IVI' s .
That 's right.
We used the IVI 's, not t he FDI' s .
We used t he
IVI ' s as the real fine measure of being l ined up.
We used the FDI 's too.
You can use anything in the spacecraft.
