It's possible to fly without the tail rotor-but it's very hard on the pilot. I've done it twice.

Additional to above posts-consider the fact the proposed flywheel would be heavy as heck.
Effective only as it accelerated/decelerated.
Precession's effects on flight.
Weren't there buses built with flywheels as energy sources? Seen any lately?
