[OoC: In the monster manual it states that creatures may carry up to a light load and still be able to fly at their normal speed. A 1st level astral construct has a Str 15 which means they can carry a light load of 66 pounds. Looking at Jonath's sheet, he weighs a total of 67.7 pounds (including his quarterstaff). So even just by leaving his backpack and its contents behind, his construct would be able to carry him over without any need of a reduce spell.
RE Flying speeds: The text could also be interpreted that the flying creature can still move at a reduced speed if carrying more than a light load, since it doesn't explicitly state that a creature can only fly if carrying a light load. So I guess it's really up to how the DM wishes to interpret the rules.]
