not true. the automatic pitch for E4 starts in 12 o'clock position, and only if you'll switch it off it will start decreasing towards 9 o'clock (though you can stop it at any time by just pressing any of the manual up/down prop pitch buttons).

over-reving won't occur in the E4's automatic prop pitch mode.

in all E models on manual propeller pitch mode, it will happen after a while if you fly level with full throttle and prop pitch on 12 o'clock (which will continuously increase the rev), or when you're diving if you won't throttle back and feather the propeller too.

it won't over-rev while climbing.
