From Le Fana 231,

SIPA S-200,later re-allocated to GY-100,a well known airplane.

Please, mind the spelling of people's names (I'm saying this to you, but it applies to everyone).
It's GARDAN, not "Garden". Only yesterday, two different people posted photos labelled "Brunelli" and "Bernelli" instead of Burnelli...
It's bad enough when it's within a discussion, but it's not acceptable in a topic's title, because it prevents the discussion from being found later on in a search.
I'm renaming this topic, but try to be a little more careful.
 
3-view from the German mag "Flugwelt", issue January 1960.

Summary from that short article:
For safe and easy handling, it was fitted with slats. It was said to have very docile
stall characteristics and being impossible to spin. Like the Ercoupe, it was flown with
stick only, not using rudder pedals. Intended for the use by flying clubs and common
fellows, special attention was paid to inexpensive operation and maintenance.
So, many parts were interchangeable from left to right (fin and rudder, aileron, wing nose,
main gear leg) and parts like bolts were standardised, as much as possible.
For ease of stowing, the wings were foldable, but still then, the aircraft could be taxied under
own power

That would make production quite a bit cheaper (and spares).
 
Thank you my dear Jemiba,and sorry my dear Skyblazer about wrong spelling.
