Left traffic is standard, seems you were in the wrong
pattern at an uncontrolled airport.

| Had this happen on Sunday up in Ontario. We were flying
into Muskoka (a

Canadian
| FSS. (We were IFR but in good VMC wx) We enter on the
right downwind to
| Rwy 18 and hear another acft on freq - apparently he's NE
of the field
| entering on the left base. We figure we're quite a bit
faster than the
| 172 and should reach final first. Turns out we're both on
opposite
| bases at the same altitude at which point my partner says
we're lower
| and faster and we procede to turn final. Well, the guy in
the 172 gets
| a bug up his ass and is whining to FSS that he had to take
"evasive
| action" to avoid us - not even close - and makes some
comment about
| calling the RCMP (like they actually have jurisdiction
here?). I know
| the rule about the acft on final having right of way, but
neither of us
| had reached that point yet, and both acft were at the same
altitude on
| opposite bases. Who had the ROW?
