The tail rotor does spin. But it seems like it only spins sometimes, not all the time. It doesn't have an independent control for the tail rotor either. I took it to the local hobby shop here and they think the motor is burned out. The bottom rotor spins the opposite direction, but it looks like it's not spinning as fast as the top, therefore it doesn't stabilize it and it spins around. That's probably due to the motor being burned out. It does smelled burned, but I work in aviation electronics so I've smelled some very burned electronics and it doesn't smell that bad to me. I'm gonna send it back and see what happens with another one. Hopefully I don't have any problems doing so. I flew the plane a few times, crash landing everytime. But I did fly it and turn a few times. It's hard to turn without any aileron control. I think that's the one to turn it in the back. When I push left to turn left, the right one speeds up and the left one slows down, which is fine, but then it loses power overall and starts to descend. By the time I can try to recover, it's going down. I've been trying a flight simulator a bit, but the plane I use has all the controls of a real gas r/c plane. I have a gas one, but it's old from my father-in-law and it hasn't flown in probably 20 years. Thanks for all the help.
