It has ailerons, but they are called trim ailerons. They're located on the trailing edge of the flaps, they're very effective, and are operated by rotating a knob left or right.
If you experience an engine failure I think the drill is pitch to 10 degrees, hold the roll trim in the desired direction for a 3 count and roll the rudder trim 5 times. It's the only plane I've ever flown that I needed to reduce power on a single engine go around to get it under control. If I recall, about 80% trq, get it trimmed and then get more trq if needed.
I'm not a high time Mits pilot, but I can see that if it's flown like a King Air, in the right configuration, you'd probably have a topic in your honor right here on APC.
