Why doesn't SIG put manuals on line like everyone else? Are they there or am I blind?

Probably because it takes time and money.
If you have ever built a Sig kit, then you know how easy they are to build!
Their manuals are better than most. I have been building kits for over 30 years.
The Sig manuals have never left me scratching my head going "huh?"
Even at 12 years old, I was able to build a King Kobra without any help.
Their manuals are that good!
I can't say that for all the other manufacturers.

Probably because nobody ever got around to doing it. I used to work for a a company that sold tools and we put a lot of manuals online. If the manual is produced electronically, it's just a matter of using Adobe acrobat to convert it to a PDF and uploading to the web server. If it is an older document, not created on a computer, you can just scan it and do the same thing. If there isn't much demand though, some companies may decide it's not worth the effort. Personally, f I can download a manual for a kit, I read it before I buy. If I like what I see, I order the kit.

Chuckw, that is why I am asking , because I am like you and I am sure there are hundreds like us. The manual goes a long way in helping me decide weather or not to buy the plane. It helps me figure out the total cost as well.

firstplaceaviator, I agree their planes are easy to build. I am building a Four Star 60 right now and it is going together so easy that I thought I was doing something wrong.

Anyway I was looking at the Sig Sukhoi ARF 1.50-2.1,76.75". It's not a kit but I am a Sukhoi nut. I have a G-38 sitting around and this might be a great platform for it.

You should give them a call. Make the suggestion, to them, regarding putting the manuals online. Also ask if they have the one you want in electronic format. Maybe they'll email it directly to you.

speaking of manuals I have a new J-c-10 with a 47" wingspan is there manual out there the manual that came with it is only 4 pages. The problem is that the wing has one servo, and both wing half connect to it, and I don't know if the servo sits flush or sticks out. help
