Default RE: Flight control article workshop

Oli, can you help me with this please? I am getting bizzare numbers and diagrams playing around with the inner flaps tab - I am using that one to get the assistance with what each cell means. Since flaps only travel downwards I always built the horn at a raked back angle but the spreadsheet seems to assume that the horn must be at right angles to the flap and I can't find a way to apply a rake angle. Even worse comes with the servo, the spreadsheet puts the servo arms and control rods at bizarre angles. Is there a box where I specify the neutral rotation angle of servo? The angle of the yellow line to represent the servo neutral angle, as chosen by the spreadsheet seems very odd. I am sure I must have missed setting a servo neutral value somewhere but I can't find any box that works!
Also can you explain what the black line is showing?
