Well, if it is an uncontrolled airport, the airspace is Class G from
700 feet to the surface, and all you need is 1 mile and clear of
clouds for VFR, right?

Not necessarily. Many uncontrolled fields have a Class E surface area,
where the Class E airspace goes all the way to the ground. You need
1000/3 there.

An UNCONTROLLED field with E airspace to the ground?? Uncontrolled is G
airspace!
