Default Cloud Flying

I am confused. If you are flying VFR, whether you are in Class G, E, or
whatever, you need to stay clear of clouds as specified in FAR 91.155. If
you are going to be in a cloud, you need to be flying IFR. To do this, you
need to be on a flight plan, properly rated, and have an IFR equiped glider.
Am I missing something????

of course, and they really aren't "issues" Pretty standard flying for
many pilots.


No need to talk to anybody and don't need a transponder if you are in
class G airspace. Of course that limits your options a bit but there
is some suitable class G in Arizona. Some disagree so see previous
discussions.
