At the risk of splitting hairs Pinky, in a fixed-pitch aircraft, when commencing a descent, the throttle will have to be retarded to a certain degree to keep RPM constant as you unload the prop. But yes, in a C150 at 500fpm at around 75% power you would have a TAS of probably around 105kts. Not overly excessive.
