[2] The Monocooupe model 22 was drawn up by Clayton Folkerts to Luscombe's design criteria.

The prototype was powered by a 60 hp Detroit air-cat engine.

The certified version of the Model 22 was approved in January 1928.

By the time of certification, the Velie company had bought Central States Aircraft, switching production of the Model 22 with the air-cat engine to the Model 70 with a Velie M-5.
