Ummm, on a side note, I've repeated this a few times already with pics and all. Sorry but I wonder what would happen if I lumped all my replies in one post. People will never get anything !
I have explored the geometry in my head, and I believe you are correct. The servo arm needs to be foreward of 90 degrees to the servo, so that it forms the radius to the servo arc at the point where the linkage arm is tangent to the arc. I will shorten the link next time I tear it apart.
