Well, let's see...the 117 designation doesn't fit in with any known category; the 'F' is bogus because it in no way could every be called a fighter; it's ugly as sin (sorry guys, but that's the way I feel); and it can't even fly without the onboard computer stabilizing it every second of the way (just watch it in flight - that's why they call it the 'Wobbly Goblin').
So, to sum up: what's not to love?
