I'd argue that once you have the FBW in place, it's relatively easy. Especially given how robust the UH60 airframe is. I wish they had given me an S76 or a UH60 after we wrung out the Cypher UAV as much as we could have. Also would have been happy to take the X2 FBW and put the Cypher autonomy back in.
