overhead join?
the best way is to join the PATTERN on downwind is at a 45 Degree angle. you should have your landing light on in the pattern for recognition and avoidance. HIGH wing planes should always be clearing above during climb and low wing planes should CLEAR below in descents.
During turns to base and final, high wing planes lose sight of the airport. Low wings have better views in the turns toward the field
