Heck yeah. You can come in below 500' and take advantage of being the lower aircraft to force your way in!I drag it in on a 10 mile final, just be sure to say "any traffic please advise" to be safe.
'Any Pattern Nazi Please Advise'?Usually it's best to rely on instructions from the psuedo-controller on the CTAF. After all, they're not paying him for this service for a reason.

Do everything normally but be prepared to initiate a 360 at any moment to make room if things get tight.
I am a straight in kinda guy but when the pattern is chatty, I tend to do the 45 as it gives me more time and more traffic calls to get in the flow.
360s in the pattern are not a good Idea (unless directed by a tower controller) IMHO... If you can't slow down enough to increase separation to a comfortable distance...break out and re-enter on a 45 (where people expect to see you)...Or extend downwind...
I would do a 4g inverted dive with a Mig 28
Lets say you come in and find the pattern full of people doing t and g, say at least 4 or more planes. Where do you enter the pattern and how much room do you leave between you and the next plane?
should I pull the chute before or after eating the coleslaw?
Or extend downwind...
if you're flying out of that beehive ISLIP MacArthur...
ISP isn't too bad. I take my students there to do landings because it's a lot quieter than FRGif you're flying out of that beehive ISLIP MacArthur...you may be on to something there! LOL
