The student pilot was practicing touch-and-go takeoffs and landings. No discrepancies were noted with the first two touch-and go's. On the third landing he had already engaged carburetor heat, applied full throttle, and raised the flaps when he noted that he was right of centerline. He indicated that he tried to steer the airplane like a car with the control yoke back to centerline instead of using the rudder pedals. The airplane departed the runway and the right wing struck bushes, spun around, and came to a stop. The pilot reported that he had 30 hours total time in all aircraft. He noted no discrepancies with the airframe or engine.
Probable Cause: Failure of the student pilot to maintain directional control of the airplane during takeoff.
