I got this weird movement on the rear leg. When unfolded with slight pressure I can lift further the leg.
I'm afraid that this might change flight dynamics and cause problems. It cannot go more upward than on the video and the prop is not touching the main body.

In the past had just one minor crash. Not sure if this could have caused it.

Anyone with the same issue?

That does not look normal or healthy. I don't know enough about aerodynamics. But I can see is having problems landing. Do you have insurance? There are some private outfits that repair these things.
 
The rear arms are spring loaded to want to come as high as possible. If it's normal or up only a little without pulling on it, shouldn't be an issue. If it is resting that high, that could be a problem. Should be safe enough for a controlled conditions test flight (low altitude, close proximity).
