Warwickshire Police said the man would appear before Nuneaton Magistrates Court tomorrow accused of killing the 48-year-old.
Mr Morse died after he was hit by the aircraft at Long Marston airfield near Stratford-Upon-Avon as he followed a hunt on Monday afternoon.
Two people were arrested on suspicion of murder following the incident, which happened just after 3pm.
The second man was released on bail tonight pending further police inquiries.
A police spokesman said: "Two men were arrested at the scene and have been in custody at Leamington Spa police station.
"One man has tonight been charged with murder.
"The second man has been released on police bail pending further inquiries."
A post-mortem examination carried out at the University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire revealed that Mr Morse died as a result of severe head injuries.
Hunt master Sam Butler paid tribute to Mr Morse, who was from Alderminster, near Stratford.
"He was a very great supporter, a passionate believer in country sports and hunting and the tribute I pay is not only to him but to his family," he said.
Long Marston airfield, an RAF base between 1941 and 1954, is now home to the Avon Microlight club, Freedom Sports Aviation, and the Shakespeare County Raceway Dragstrip.
