Some maths for anyone who wants to calculate the size of the servo horn.
Diameter = cable pull x (360/(servo angle x π))
Explanation of the calculation in more detail.
The cable pull becomes a percentage of the servo horns circumference, which is (available servo angle / 360). We want the inverse of this so how many times greater than the cable pull does the circumference need to be. Therefore the circumference = cable pull x (360 / servo angle). Diameter = circumference / π.
