Narrative:

I entered downwind on a 45. I made all radio calls, downwind, base and final.left on 1/4 mi final, a civil air patrol small aircraft called final. I looked behind me and did not see him. I then saw him just above me. I took evasive action and informed him I was below. He got abusive on the radio, then took evasive action. There was a discussion on the ground between myself and the other pilot. I talked to the FAA, and was told about the procedures of an investigation. The other pilot has several accidents. Though I've never been in trouble, I cannot afford an investigation due to an upcoming class date with a major. I don't believe that I was in the wrong.
