7. Your rubber bands are installed incorrectly. The rubber bands should stretch from front to back on the same side. The last two rubber bands are cris-crossed. You should be using 10-12 rubber bands.
Oh... those are there for storage, the wing is not attached...i just kind set it there for the picture. I dont have enough room in the house to have the wing on the plane all the time.

Some other observations:
Replace that prop. Chipped props are an accident waiting to happen. I wouldn't want shards of razor sharp plastic spinning off my prop at 12,000 RPM.
Your rudder and elevator servos are slightly misadjusted. When your surfaces are centered (along with trim tabs), the servo arms should be perfectly perpindicular to the control rods. You can adjust the servo horns for center then adjust the clevises to recenter the surfaces.
You are going to get instruction from a club aren't you? Please consider it as flying models is more difficult than many people realize.
That prop is not being used...it's just there to be there.
Also, the RX was off so the servos didn't center themselves. so its off a bit in the pictures.
I'm a member of AMA and am joining the club on Saturday when I take the plane out there.
