Controls according to [FAA:2008:AS1CE]:
Vectored Thrust Movements
Side Engines 0 (forward horizontal) to 120 degrees up.
Aft Engine 0 (aft horizontal) to 90 degrees down.
Avoid sustained operation with forward swivel angles between
43 and 57 degrees during normal operation.
Engine controls (from pictures of the engine panel and other sources)
- RPM SEL levers
- LH AFT RH: IDLE - ? (to 1250RPM - max according to [FAA:2008:E8-6600])
- fcs/propeller-speed-cmd-norm[0|1|2] range [0, 1].
- Mixture levers
- LH AFT RH: LEAN - RICH
- the standard mixture properties
fcs/mixture-cmd-norm[0|1|2]
- Thrust (prop pitch) levers (direct propeller pitch [FAA:2008:E8-6600])
- LH RH AFT: REV - ZERO - T/O - CRUISE
- fcs/thrust-cmd-norm[0|1|2] range [0, 1].
- Swivel levers
- LH RH: 0 - 120 degrees
- AFT: 0 - (-)90 degrees (only 0 or -90 according to [FAA:2008:E8-6600])
- fcs/side-engine-swivel-cmd-norm[0|1], fcs/rear-engine-swivel-cmd-norm
range [0, 1].

I have not seen any controls for the auxilliary rear side propeller
so I assume that it is controlled by the FCS in response to yaw
requests.
