Cessna dropping right wing during stall

As a mechanic with a lot of experience on Cessna's, 3 big things.

1) The plane isn't rigged to spin. Period. Unless there's something extreme like a broken rudder spring - that's a terrible rigging metric. Straight and level on a calm day is when you check rigging. Look at the ball, see what its doing. Look at the VSI, play with trim, etc. Not saying it doesn't indicate a rigging issue, but if spin characteristics are what your mechanic is chasing, they are going to mess up the plane's rigging doing so - guaranteed. It's more likely to end up being a weight and balance thing (as stall is the precise moment aerodynamics have the least impact on your plane).

2) At this point for how much has been messed with, if I personally were approaching the rigging of this plane, I'd spend a whole day or two to reset everything to nominal and get a performance baseline, from you, in flight - and adjust one control at a time to get it perfect. There are differences in flight between aileron imbalance and wing incidence, for example - and if your mechanic doesn't know them, get them to outsource to an IA or someone who does. If you have doubts about this person - don't let them touch your eccentrics - AKA FRIGGIN WING MOUNTS.

  1. More simple, but something worth considering. What kind of Cessna, and what fuel tank set up? If its switchable, which tank are you starting on? If its not - are the levels the same after a flight?. Because if they aren't, you have a plugged up vent line that's causing imbalanced fuel feed characteristics.
