I adjust the upwind turn depending upon the weather conditions and other traffic.

I never extend downwind beyond the 'flapless circuit' position - unless ATC order otherwise.

If someone is flying bomber circuits outside the normal circuit pattern, he/she must expect that other circuit traffic may not give way. Not so much 'cutting inside' as following the correct circuit pattern....
