Ok, I think I have this puppy nailed.
If you have Showplanes FPS installation instructions (Iss A 2003) from their website, it contains NO info on the 10 - throw it in the bin.
If you have Showplanes FPS installation instructions (Iss C 2004) from Vans, it contains WRONG info on the 10 - throw it in the bin.
In the -10, flaps are retracted when the actuator is fully extended. This is the RV-8 configuration (as correclty pointed out by Rick S.), so measure the Positioning Rod Clamp to 5 15/16". Connect the Motor P1 to red, and Motor P2 to black as for the 4,6,7 and 9 models. This installation works as advertised for me.
I was wrong about the fusible links in the controller - they were actually the PC tracks that had completely lifted from the board!! (they certainly behaved like fusible links!). A replacement controller module is $45 for those interested.
I would highly recommend the use of a Molex style connector between the FPS and and flap motor, and make sure you disconnect the motor from the FPS if you need to drive it manually.
