The tail rotor only counteracts the torque (spin force) on the body of the cab created by the main rotor (Newton's 3rd law of motion coming into effect), it doesn't create any lift or forward momentum.If the rear propeller is working you can glide I think , but if the rear goes I think you are fucked
