Morelli M1

Visited the Toronto Aerospace Museum today (more of a restoration
workshop than museum, but quite interesting).

Anyway, hanging from the ceiling in a back corner was a sailplane.
Looked to be quite small, under 15 meters, shoulder wing single-seater.
There was no information posted, but a handout describes it as a Morelli
M1. Anyone have any information on this bird?

Thanks,
Sid

Maybe a Morelli M100?

That's probably a good guess. According to Jane's World Sailplanes, the
M-100 originally had a 14 meter wingspan. It was later changed to 15 to
meet standard class requirements.

I used to own a Morelli M100S, C-FBNG ser. no ?.
It may be it, or a sister ship.
Looks and performs like its contemporary, Ka6,
wood + GRP nose section,
very powerful airbrakes, delight to fly!
