I don't have my books with wood data here at the office, but I doubt it
would be a very good substitute. I've never seen basswood in the
lengths you would need for spars or longerons.
This I found on the internet Hardwood Identification Center: Physical
Properties
The wood is light and soft with generally low strength properties and a
poor steam-bending classification.
I think that would scare me off. Most basswood is used for carving
because it is soft with an indistinct grain. It is light, and is
commonly used as the core sheets of aircraft grade plywood. It does not
bend well, with or without steam.

Basswood has considerably lower bending strength than sitka or doug fir.

I 've used a lot of basswood in my piet, but it's been in plywood form. I
can't believe that there would be any problem using basswood for longerons, the
design with the added gussets is incrediby strong, but I'd analyze the stresses
in the spar as designed before using, probably ending up with an engineered
"I" beam. Basswood, from the Linden tree, is lovely to work with. If I hadn't
finished my wings, I'd use it for the ribs, etc, since we can get real nice
clear wood even out here in Los Angeles. Carl L
