| A flybar is a mechanical gyro.
Your heli will fly without one, try it.. (at your own risk)
Or you can look for some video's of people flying without flybars or electronics. Difficult, but very possible.
Now, add some electronic wizardry and waa-laa you have a heli that is as stable as it's flybar'd counterpart.
Adding another 300+ dollars to the overall rigging cost of a heli is a huge hurdle for most. Since manufactuers are going for mass appeal, only a few smaller companies will take the risk to offer a dedicated flybarless kit or even a flybarless head. Flybars, and the damage they create, are a good source of revenue for manufacturers, so they will be reluctant to give it up.
For now the early adopters, myself and others, are willing to pay the price to advance this great technology and the companies that are supporting it.
In the end if you invest in flybarless technology and stick with the hobby, you'll get most, if not all of your money back in parts, extra flying time and less time on the bench.
