@Asikk- They are also qualified during the first three months of residence. So the EEA's self sufficiency could be established via the spouse during this time (the CSI for the EEA can be covered by a non UK EHIC card (up until the point they decide to "remain in the UK").
So, lets take an example that after landing with my husband in the UK, during those first three months I will travel to my country and back to UK, and still I am a qualified person even though I am not doing anything? My husband can work during those 3 months then, right? After that we will apply - let's say - me being self-sufficient or a jobseeker, so if my husband starts employment during those first 3 months, how will it influence our application for RC? UKBA is not checking him but me.
Not quite... because until you establish that your qualified, your qualification will end when you leave.
(if you leave before establishing self sufficiency in the country etc - IE setting up home, and so on).
Dropping off non-EEA family members is mentioned in the ECI guidance.

2.18
but bear in mind: if he is legal in the country (which being married to an eea national its "hard" to prove against) as an exit from the UK doesnt necessarily end the residence for up to six months.
it really depends on how the home office sees the situation etc.
might well be worth lodging the eea2 BEFORE you leave the country though
