ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT THE STUDENT DID NOT RELEASE ENOUGH BACK PRESSURE OR USE ENOUGH RIGHT RUDDER AFTER THE ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE. THE ACFT DRIFTED LEFT AND WAS GOING TO STALL. THE INSTRUCTOR TOOK OVER AND LANDED THE ACFT. THE LEFT MAIN GEAR CAME DOWN APRX 1 FOOT OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ASPHALT. THE DRAG WAS GREAT ENOUGH TO PULL THE ACFT TO THE LEFT AS IT WAS DECELERATING. THE ENGINE GEAR SHEARED OFF IN THE SOFT GROUND AND THE ACFT FLIPPED OVER.
