Which size ARF are you picking up? They were made in 40, 60, and 120 sized a while back in as both ARCs and ARFs. They then discontinued all of them and a couple of months ago reinstated the 60 sized ARF. If you're talking about the 60 sized ARF, the G23 would be way too much (both in terms of power and weight) for the airframe. The DL is great. I had a 40 sized which flew wonderfully on a 46. I've been contemplating getting one of the new 60 sized ARFs because it really is a great sport model... For the 60 sized ARF, I'd go with either an MVVS 77 for a 2C or Saito 100 for a 4C. Anything more would be overkill.
Oops you guys are right, there's a 40 and a 60+ sized, no 120 size as I mentioned up above. Still wouldn't go with a gasser on the 60 sized...
