I have added 100hours since June, all of which is in the 206. But even drop zones that need people and fly 206's said they need 500hrs min.
I have experience in warbirds as well, so I have a broad base of flight experience. I'm at 359hrs currently
It is called 'bartering', but at least when I did the same thing as you are doing - they offered $10/load or free skydiving lessons (this was in '89 though - seems a century ago
) flight time has its' own value of course and is considered compensation by the FAA if I have read and understood some of the different posts here on APC concerning this practice.
The last bolded part though - - well........at 359 hours of TT - you really don't have a broad base of experience in anything yet.
