wanted: info about untrasonic scanners

[tater schuld]

I am a model rocketeer and was wondering if there is a cheap way that I
could scan composite airframes for voids and delaminations. I figgure a baby
ultrasound machine might work, although I dont have any experience with
them.

mainly looking for defects and flaws in rocket tubes and solid propellant
grains.
