G'Day Six Sixty
I know a bloke who didnt start flying fling wings until 35. He walked out of flying school into a Jetranger and now flys a Squirrel, he also has a bit of time in the BK 117.
This is definitely the exception and not the rule (by this I mean straight into a kero burner out of flight school) but it shows that guys do get lucky breaks.
So if this is what you really want to do give it a dab, cause if you dont you'll forever wonder what could have been
Personally, if I was an operator I would prefer to employ someone low time a bit older than a bit younger due to the maturity factor.
Hope this helps and good luck
