No transponder or radio requirement for VFR in G- mixing with IFR. There is not even a requirement for VFR to monitor an ATC frequency when en-route in G
No need. Too cold for me. Plenty of thrust though, I suppose. That'd be good. Besides, Rotorblades can tell me how their system really works. If I was flying over there, the first thing I'd do is hop onto a radar freq and ask for all the avoiding guidance they could give me. But my sense of self-preservation is probably a bit higher than yours.

I am proud I introduced the mandatory transponder requirement for VFR in E. - it means when we upgrade G to E we introduce an extra safety mitigator.
Pull the other one. The brutal reality is that even you realised that unknown, off-freq VFRs in E airspace was so stupid it would never be accepted by anybody, except perhaps Sled (I'm sure he has a study somewhere that says it is totally safe based on a few hundred lives every 30 years). I suppose we should give you credit for that.
