Now the yaw needle is going about 1/2 3 marks to the left of yaw. The pitch needle 1/2 is dropping down. It's about i to 2 degrees pitch-up. We're now coming through a heads-up position. At the end of the first revolution, we're about 5 degrees yaw right, about 5 degrees pitch-up. 1/2 The yaw needle shows i _2 marks, i points up to the left; pitch needle is 2 down, and they're holding positions fairly smoothly. The pitch needle's now drifting up; we've about 4 or 5 degrees of roll - roll to the left. Pitch needle is cen- tered now, and the circle in the airplane is about 4 or 5 degrees below the horizon.

We're about 35 degrees pitch-down on the 8-Ball, and beginning to pitch up a little higher and about 4 degrees to the right of the orbit plane. Yaw needle is just about in the center. We're pitching down from 30 degrees pitched-up, and this is with a roll of about zero. We're pitching down. Yaw needle is showing right in the center of the dot and is traveling down the belly-band of the 8-Ball. We're 20 degrees now.

The pitch needle just went through a 0 indication and is now down to about half a degree down.
