Probably some sort of aerodynamic test rig to gather pressure data in the flow field surrounding the propeller.
 The tape gives it away as a temporary setup. The vertical arm probably goes over the top of the prop to the top wing center section.

Machinebird, it has hydraulic lines in it and attached to a cylinder looking shape. Could it be a prop hub puller?

Franzkait, Don't tell me it is a mechanism to jettison the prop inflight in order to get glide information undisturbed by the propeller airflow? I was wondering why all the lines ended at the hub.
