I think you will find it is a young person's machine, in terms of learning how to fly one. For every year over forty, add an hour to the expected time to get a PPL. It just takes us longer to learn the later you start.
I started at 50 and it was way too late, but here I am with a CPL and instructors rating, 500 hours and an empty bank account. Still, there're no pockets in a shroud, as granny used to say.
As to making a job/career of it when starting late, you have the odds stacked against you. There will always be someone younger and hungrier than you for the job. For public transport, you are effectively stopped by the current law at 60 anyway
For sport flying only - go for it. Remember however, there is a percentage of the population who should never fly helicopters. It does require an attitude of mind and co-ordination of body that is not universal.
