After the fourth touch and go landing, the student applied full power, and accelerated to takeoff. Just after liftoff and at an altitude of about 20 to 30 feet above the ground, the instructor pilot said the airplane's left engine lost power. The airplane veered left, the takeoff was aborted, the airplane departed the runway, and impacted with shrubs. Both pilots stated that although this was a training flight, simulated engine out procedures were not in progress at the time of the engine power loss. The left engine and propeller were placed on a test stand to facilitate a test run. The run was conducted with all of the engine's original parts. The engine and propeller were run with no discrepancies noted.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power on takeoff for undetermined reasons.
