Fly by wire will take a while to get sorted out to the level of reliability of nearly every other system on the helicopter. But the FW world have done it, and we should be looking very seriously at what they've done.
There are a tremendous number of advantages to FBW- better control harmony, better handling, and perhaps best of all- a built-in flight recorder to tell us exactly what happened if there is a crash.
