Default Super Tigre G.15 R/C ??

Hi,
I've got this Super Tigre G.15 R/C engine with baffle on the exhaust system, but was not able to find any kind of information on it.
If someone could help, I would like to know what fuel to use on it (I heard that it has iron piston so it needs at least 20% castor?); if someone could also tell me what are the RPMs range on the engine and HP output.
The engine has 2 needle valves including the high-speed needle valve. On the side it has written a large G, and 15 written inside of it; it also says that is made in Italy.
Thanks, Florin

these were made around the early 70's the x15 took it's place.it is a scavanged type of design with lapped piston.,has ball bearing and was used in 1/4 midget racing.7-5 to 8-4 size prop,as far as hp and rpm i do not remember but any modern .15 will have more power .
