begin to get some fairly good oe1cillations ,
very r apid rate, I had no problE'ms damping
them at all but I didn' t have tt.e time to
keep switching back and forth f rom rate to
attitude and go back to rate anc. damp them
real quick and then go back to &.ttitude and
decide where I was on the guide and then
go back to rate and damp them and go back
to guidance , so I finally--they got to
getting fairly good where I had to devote
a l i ttle bit of time to damping them, and
I f i nally just went to guidance and stayed on
guidance andJust flicked over tc single r ing
rate command to damp the oscillati ons and
then used the attitude control i n the rate
command to steer the computer steers .
Which
worked out versJ well and there was--there
never was really any oscillating-you never
really--I could go to rate on there and you
could hardly ever see the rate needles
