Kevin, we are saying the same thing. My POH reads the same as yours: "check feathering to 1200 rpm (from 1800)." The difference is in the interpretation. I "check feathering" by pulling up the throttles and placing them in the feather position. I too stop before the rpm drops below 1200.
What I think you are saying is that you check to see if the govenor is working down to 1200 rpm like you would in a single where the prop won't feather no matter what one does.
I think there is a very distinct difference in checking the govenor and checking the feathering mechanism. I stand by my guns!
Further, I very much agree all of your AI friends that the engines should not be feathered on the ground or damage may occur (although I've seen happen a few times without any damage.)
