Can an old dog learn new tricks?

I am a 50+ experienced fixed-wing, instrument rated CPL.

I romped through pilot training as a 25 year old, but am I now too old to learn to fly a helicopter?

My current thinking is to buy an R44 and learn to fly it.

Anyone care to recommend a helicopter flying instructor in Qld? I am looking for someone with the grey hair that comes with lots of experience - and I suspect they will need to be very patient!
