The KAPPA KPD-2U is a side-by-side two-seat low-wing ultralight aeroplane. KAPPA Ltd. was established in 1991 in the Czech republic. In 1994 the development of the all-metal UL aircraft KP-2U SOVA was started. Three prototypes were built: two for the test flights and one for the strength tests. The first test flight of the SOVA was done in May 1996. In September 1997 the aircraft obtained the type certificate by the UL-2 regulations from the Air Amateur Association of the Czech republic. In June 1977, KAPPA77 a.s. was founded and the KP-2U entered serial production. After the KAPPA 77 a.s. was declared bankruptcy on 16 February 2005, the company Jihlavan airplanes, s.r.o. was founded on 2 March 2005 with the main objective – to proceed in the production of the ultralight aircraft KP 2U SOVA. On 1 April 2005, the Jihlavan airplanes, s.r.o. became the holder of the manufacture rights, intellectual properties, etc. of the KP-2U. Over 160 airplanes of the Kappa KP-2U versions were built. After Jihlavan took over the production of the aircraft it was renamed as the Rapid KP-2U.

KAPPA KPD-2U s/n 013J was built in April 2004. The aircraft was registered as D-MCIA in Germany. After the aircraft was sold it was re-registered D-MEMS. On 30 March 2014, Kappa KPD-2U D-MEMS was photographed at its base, the MLA-airfield Dankern near Haren (Ems) in Germany.
