No there isn't. You either have to register with TurboSquid to get the unlock key for gMax, or check this thread for a work-around:-

is there anyway to import or edit a ready made plane?

There are two ready-made aircraft supplied with the SDK for CFS3, a P47 and a Ju88. The P47 especially is crude by today's standards, but this is as much help as MS gave us for the nitty-gritty of making a model for the sim.

If you don't have the SDK for CFS3 yet (and you'll need it), you'll get it at:- http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs3/cfs3_sdk.aspx (http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs3/cfs3_sdk.aspx)

This is the only way to get an existing model into gMax - if you don't have the source files, it can't be done.

at www.simviation.com (http://www.simviation.com) there is an 'adopt a design' section which has a few gmax models in it. They're worth a look to help get an idea of whats involved.
