Did I say something that conflicted with that? My condition was no IFR
flight plan AND no transponder.

no, what you said was correct, but it implied that you do need a
transponder in other controlled airspace (Class E) which is not true,
although probably a good idea.

So If I said "you don't need to wear a tie when you are at the
beach". You'd think I implied that you need to wear a tie everywhere
except at the beach" Very strange, but I still don't speak American.
In my native language there is a difference between implication and
inference.

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.

yea you got it, except for a few rare possibilities that you could
cloud fly in Class G, where a flight plan/clearance is not required.
The equipment required does not include transponders. And apparently
while Andy isnt quite grasping American, I need to work on my
English. Until then I'll be the guy at the beach wearing a tie...
