A certified flight instructor (CFI) was demonstrating a soft field landing and takeoff to a student pilot. After landing, they back-taxied to the approach end of the 1,480 foot turf runway and initiated a takeoff. After lift-off near the departure end, the airplane hit bushes and would not maintain a positive rate of climb. It then settled into trees and crashed. Using the pilot operating handbook, the ground run on a paved runway was calculated to be 1,276 feet. To clear a 50 foot obstacle after taking off from a paved runway, the required distance was calculated to be 2,211 feet.
Probable Cause: improper planning/decision by the flight instructor (CFI) by failing to ensure that the airplane would be able to clear brush and trees near the departure end of the runway.
