The motion of two pivotally connected bodies in the supportless phase (weightlessness) is investigated. The minimization and maximization of the slew time from a given initial position to the given terminal position is solved. It is assumed that the angular momentum of the system about its center of mass is distinct from zero. This problem is a simple model of attitude control of a hopping machine in the supportless phase of the hop.
