Narrative:
Approaching airport from south (15 NM) heard cessna aircraft call 10 south shooting GPS app to runway 36. Continue north; when about 7 NM south cessna called on GPS app at 5 miles. I called; looking for you; cessna called he was along power lines. I called I had a visual on him. Cessna was at my 1030 several hundred feet low at a mile. I call inbound for up wind entry (overhead) for runway 36. As I passed down the cessna's right side high (2.0 to 2.5 miles south) I called I was passing over head; for the overhead. At midfield turned right to enter right down wind for landing 36. Pilot of cessna came to my hanger and said I passed inside of 100 feet and he could see the rivets on my aircraft.
