Narrative:
Right after lift off; something felt different than normal. Airplane yawed to the left. As I went to apply right rudder; I felt no response from the aircraft at which point I decided to abort the takeoff; made the call for 'my controls' and landed the airplane off the runway. During the entire time I tried to apply right rudder but didn't feel that response from the aircraft as the left yawing tendency continued until the aircraft came to a stop.
