The functional least squares procedure of Chambers and Heathcote for estimating the slope parameter in a linear regression model is analysed. Strong uniform consistency for the family of these estimators is proved together with a necessary and sufficient condition for weak convergence in the space of continuous vector valued functions. These results are then used to develop the asymptotic normality of an adaptive version of the functional least squares estimator with minimum limiting variance.
