Q° . • 0 University Pilot Builds Sopwith Camel Replica "Hey, watch out there, Red Baron." Snoopy's Sopwith Camel is almost ready to fly again. After more than three years of work, a full-scale replica of the World War I biplane is complete except for its pro peller. The plane is . the creation of Richard L. Day, research pilot for the University's department of Meteorology. H'e estimates that from 2,000 to 4,000 hours went into building his repro duction of the 28-foot wing spread model used by the Ca nadian Air Force ace, Roy Brown. Brown was the flight leader credited with downing Ger many's Baron Manfred von Richthofen, prototype of Snoopy's combat foe. A native of Washington, Day became hooked on flying as a boy, flew solo at 16 and was earning his living as a pilot by the time he was 21. He's flown for non-scheduled air lines, done mapping, photo graphing, instructing just about everything but crop dusting. He had restored several antique planes before he got the urge to try and build one from scratch. "I didn't choose the Sop with Camel because of its association with the Peanuts' strip," he emphasizes. "I liked its appearance, and its color ful wartime history appealed to me. I also didn't realize quite what I was getting in to." Day has built almost the en tire plane himself, right down to the metal hardware.

Financing the project has been another headache. Day figures he's taken some $3.000 from the family budget for the job. To add a propeller, which must be handmade from wodd, and a few finish ing touches is prohibitive at this point. "I could have it in the air within a week," he says, "but I've run out of funds." Meanwhile, he has loaned the plane, fitted with a dummy propeller, fo r display at a non-profit institution, the Ex perimental Aircraft Associa tion Museum in Hales Corners, Wis.
