I meant for us, RC guys, not full scale.

Well if you are trying to set speed records then it may only be possible with a multi blade prop with a high prop pitch. But probably not a factor at the lower speeds of pylon racing. Some pattern planes use three bladed props to pass the maximum noise rule. The only factor that is not a benifit to our models is that a mulit bladed prop performs better at high altitiude.
