Uhh, I'd check that one. A year or two ago there was an article in
IFR or IFR Refresher about this subject. FAA busted some guy who
cancelled when clear of the clouds because he was not legal for VFR.
IIRC, the guy busted had like 750 and 6+. The gist of the article was
that unless you were in legal VFR you can't cancel in the air.

Depends on where you are. In Class E, you need 1000/3 to be VFR. In Class
G, it's legal. If you're landing to an uncontrolled airport with a Class E
surface area, you need to wait until you're on the ground. If you're out
in the boonies with a 1200', or even a 700', floor, you should be ok
cancelling in the air, as long as you're below the floor of the Class E
airspace.
