Tail rotor suddenly not working after 6 month storage
Good evening all. After being in storage for several months, I pulled out my 450 trex to give it a whirl. Everything is working fine except the tail rotor isn't spinning. Prior to storage, it flew fine. I thought it was the 401 gyro, so I got a used one from Ebay. Still nothing. What else can I check and how?

Check the belt maybe loose or a bad tail shaft pulley (pulley slip from the shaft) or maybe the
main gear screw missing (screw holding the main gear to main shaft)
main gear screw missing (screw holding the main gear to main shaft)
