I make the spiders like this because it is logically easier and cheaper. I only made a dozen planes so it would have been a poor investment as an investment casting! If I was to take them from a casting I would need a carrier for work holding which would require a lot more material.
You must remember I am only a small business and items like this are no problem to make on the CNC mill.
