You can also do the same if you borrowed the plane, but you would need to be VERY careful about any money changing hands (bartering included).
An experimental can not be rented/leased. (1 special exception applies: an owner of an experimental can (maybe) get a special letter of authorization to charge for the use of his/her experimental aircraft for the purposes of transition training)
So, no. An experimental can not be put on leasback at a flightschool.
