This image shows the V-n diagram for the 1500 lb. case for a COZY MKIV in the Normal Category at Sea Level.
Here we can see that the Vs, Vb, Vc_min and Va have all decreased, due to the lower weight of the aircraft. You must lower your speeds MORE when at low weights in rough air than at high weights.
