How can i trade some construction work for some helicopter flight lessons?

I do construction for a living.I have always wanted to learn to fly helicopters.In these tough economic times its hard to fund schooling.There has gotta be somebody out there that willing to trade services.
As a helicotper pilot, i agree, it’s very tough, i would recommend searching local cities airports for small helicopter operators. Ya know, a small helo buisness owner, they’re the one’s you can barter with, but always be wary of who you train with, do some research, never pork out money, always pay as you go. flight for flight, ask any questions. Flying a helicopter is serious stuff, and there are too many people out there cutting corners.
Thanks

I would have to say this is almost impossible short of joining the army………. Unless you find someone who is a helicopter flight instructor that owns his own helicopter and is willing to barter for probably a new addition to his home….

You should build them a helicopter, then maybe they would fly you.
