I have had my president mckinley for a month and a half. To day I noticed it has slight up down and left and right play in the channel selector. Don't remember it being like it when new. Anyone whith the same rig have the same issue.

Like I said it's only slight movement at the moment. About 1/2 a millimetre in all directions, but I don't remember it being there when I first got it.
