Narrative:

Upon takeoff from runway 12 at avq; I called a north departure from the downwind. After completing the upwind and crosswind legs of the pattern; I turned onto the downwind and continued to climb. At 2900 feet MSL and while still flying parallel to the runway on the downwind; I saw motion on my right. Another aircraft was approaching perpendicular to the runway (approximate course 210) at pattern altitude on a collision course. The approaching aircraft pulled up and turned south. Seeing his turn; I pushed forward to reduce altitude. Upon completing the maneuver; I continued to my destination without incident.
