Narrative:

I was attempting to land at 2w6. I tuned unicom frequency 15 mi out. Several aircraft were in pattern. I entered upwind leg to runway 11 at pattern altitude and 120 KTS. I called upwind on unicom after I passed departure end of runway. I turned crosswind and called in on unicom. I observed an aircraft taking off from runway 11. He was doing touch and go's, I believe. I turned downwind and called it on unicom. I observed the aircraft take off from the runway and, at a very low altitude, bank left and start to climb. The runway is 3500' in length, and the aircraft was perpendicular to the runway at approximately the 300' mark. He climbed to pattern altitude and turned downwind. I was going 100 KTS at the time, and he passed between the runway and me. I called him on unicom and advised him that I was on downwind, that he cut inside of me, and I asked him his intentions. He didn't response. I asked his intentions again, and he said, 'we'll discuss it on the ground.' he turned base and I broke off the approach. My conclusion is that he failed to yield the right of way to me by cutting into the pattern of an aircraft already established on downwind. He could have avoided the problem by extending his takeoff heading to fit into the pattern behind me. I believe he caused the problem by flying too tight a pattern. He should not have turned crosswind before passing the end of the runway.

Title: SMA TAKES OFF AND, FLYING THE PATTERN INCORRECTLY, CONFLICTS WITH THE REPORTER'S SMA THAT HAD ENTERED THE PATTERN INCORRECTLY.

Narrative: I WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND AT 2W6. I TUNED UNICOM FREQ 15 MI OUT. SEVERAL ACFT WERE IN PATTERN. I ENTERED UPWIND LEG TO RWY 11 AT PATTERN ALT AND 120 KTS. I CALLED UPWIND ON UNICOM AFTER I PASSED DEP END OF RWY. I TURNED XWIND AND CALLED IN ON UNICOM. I OBSERVED AN ACFT TAKING OFF FROM RWY 11. HE WAS DOING TOUCH AND GO'S, I BELIEVE. I TURNED DOWNWIND AND CALLED IT ON UNICOM. I OBSERVED THE ACFT TAKE OFF FROM THE RWY AND, AT A VERY LOW ALT, BANK LEFT AND START TO CLB. THE RWY IS 3500' IN LENGTH, AND THE ACFT WAS PERPENDICULAR TO THE RWY AT APPROX THE 300' MARK. HE CLBED TO PATTERN ALT AND TURNED DOWNWIND. I WAS GOING 100 KTS AT THE TIME, AND HE PASSED BTWN THE RWY AND ME. I CALLED HIM ON UNICOM AND ADVISED HIM THAT I WAS ON DOWNWIND, THAT HE CUT INSIDE OF ME, AND I ASKED HIM HIS INTENTIONS. HE DIDN'T RESPONSE. I ASKED HIS INTENTIONS AGAIN, AND HE SAID, 'WE'LL DISCUSS IT ON THE GND.' HE TURNED BASE AND I BROKE OFF THE APCH. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT HE FAILED TO YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY TO ME BY CUTTING INTO THE PATTERN OF AN ACFT ALREADY ESTABLISHED ON DOWNWIND. HE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THE PROB BY EXTENDING HIS TKOF HDG TO FIT INTO THE PATTERN BEHIND ME. I BELIEVE HE CAUSED THE PROB BY FLYING TOO TIGHT A PATTERN. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TURNED XWIND BEFORE PASSING THE END OF THE RWY.
