Thats correct: theres no such thing. I went for a medical flight
check with an FAA examiner, and he wouldnt let me fly unless I got
the printed checklist out of the seat pocket and preflighted with
that. (Id never seen it before.) He almost made the plane go back to
the factory because there were no pins in the nuts securing the flying
wires. We had ensured that the a/w cert was out in the open and
secure.

Of course people almost never take check rides in the Cub. When I had
my check ride, the examiner warned me in advance that Id have to do a
weight & balance problem. I had to spend 15 mins with the mech to
delve the information from his records and the microform from New
Piper Aircraft. I passed the information on to the instructors and put
it in my own copy of that pseudo-POH/checklist, but to my shame Ive
never looked at it since.
