No, because unlike the S92 and its gearbox, it is quite easy to fly the R66 without hydraulics. No different than an R44.
I understand, from an experienced instructor who has undertaken the official conversion course, that the R66 can fly fairly easily hydraulics off, but some manoeuvres produce an exceptionally heavy cyclic, far greater than in the R44, and enough to be of concern.
