" looked into both as a way of getting some tailwheel time. Basically Parachute dropping requires at least 700 hours and MEP."
I dont know who told that but the minimum is 100 hours PIC ( 75 if you are a FAI C cert parachutist )
It was probably the club that you asked who told you the rules for their operation. Only one club that I know of operates a tailwheel MEP.
PML just ask around or look at the BPA web site for a list of clubs. Theres plenty still operating with C206s.
