I'm getting my Dynon Skyview avionics en masse from a friend that is upgrading his RV-8 panel. I believe this means I will not be eligible for an E-LSA certificate, but I'd like to get E-LSA if at all possible.
What are the advantages of E-LSA over EAB? Can I still do flight instruction in an EAB?
Thanks,

To be eligible for E-LSA you must purchase all components from the kit manufacturer. The kit manufacturer will not issue you an 8130-15 unless you buy everything from him. That's the only way he can be sure that you used all the correct parts. You must have an 8130-15 to be eligible for E-LSA.
E-LSA phase I flight testing has a minimum of 5 hrs. Vs 40 hrs. for E-AB.
Only the builder is eligible for the repairman certificate on E-AB. With E-LSA, subsequent owners may apply for and receive the repairman certificate after passing a 16 hr. inspection course.
Flight instruction rules are the same. You may do flight instruction but cannot charge for it.
