I have also noticed that, like the Corsair, whenever I make a continuous curve to landing, the landing seems to go better.

Gary,

Lately I have chosen to do curved arc descents to landing from the downwind (i.e. no squared pattern) at my towered airport. Nobody has complained and I find it easier to control both the descent rate and speed in a constant banked turn (assuming I guessed the wind effect properly) and a minor fix is less dramatic than in those 90 degree pattern turns as its need can be recognized earlier.  Oh well, fly it the way you like.......
