With a ScaleFlying fuse? Even if not, they have quite a few MD500 based kits and I would check with them for what they recommend on the head and blades. You might get a faster response here if you post in the scale forum.
On the ESC and gear train, it's all about knowing what HS you want to fly. Once you know the HS, you can figure out the options for motor/pinion combinations that will get you there. ESC should then be based on motor specs, although you can certainly cheat a bit for scale flying. I assume a 60 is in the ballpark.

Ok... so I would definitely check the few scale vendors like ScaledFlying to see if they have recommendations on the head. If they do, they would probably also have a recommendation on the right HS for a 5-blade. Once you have that, everything else will fall into place.
