hey ! a piston engine will not feather. you can see this on a normal shutdown where also oil pressure is gone finally. the prop will remain in low pitch wich is useful for low drag on next startup .
in general you can expect on a piston to force springs the prop in low pitch and oil pressure to high pitch- when oil pressure is gone the prop moves to low pitch.

cheers
