Centaurus, I know you're in Oz so I'll presume your friend is. Graham Murphy has thousands of hours in MU2s. Don't know where he is now but if he can be found he has a lot of useful knowledge. I did the the MU2 endorsement theory with him. Didn't have the $$$ or justification for the flying part (the bottle of good red he charged me for the ground work was within my budget though...)

It was years ago and it's all a bit vague now but there were traps with the aircraft. Forgotten most of what he taught me but it included things like applying full roll trim very soon after an engine failure. More or less straight after controlling the yaw with rudder. Fueling to full required a bit of to-ing & fro-ing between sides with the fuel hose to ensure each tank was filled. There was also something about the P1/P2 tubes or whatever those sensor tubes just inside the inlet are called

Don't forget Oz has (or had?) a special training requirement for the MU2 for flight into icing too.
