10 to 11 Secs for gear down and up sounds scale to me. I would like to see them with a Ver Pit so we could set the time but that would just make them cost more. I have several Elec retracts and I do like them. I think it depends on the model. A bandit or Firebird. Yeayou might want to them work faster.
Most modern jets retract gear in about 3 seconds. Check this vid out to see typical F-16 gear. Others are similar.
