Play around with the length of the tail rotor pushrod. That helped me when I was dealing with the same issue on my RCE-500X gyro

Have you verified that the gyro is responding in the right direction? Refer to G190 [link=http://manuals.hobbico.com/fut/g190-manual.pdf]manual[/link]

Step 7, Gyro Operation Direction.
If the rudder servo moves to the left (gives a nose left response) when the nose of the helicopter turned to the right, the gyro direction is correct.
If the servo moves in the opposite direction, reverse the gyro upside down.
* If you try to fly the helicopter while the gyro operation direction is wrong, the nose will swing to the right or left.

Apparently by the description, the G190 does not have a reversing switch so in order to reverse the gyro output, it needs to be mounted upside down to how it is currently mounted.
