What is the best product to use to caulk the inside wind screen to top skin? I have an approximate 1/4" gap at the canopy bow and close fit everywhere else. I am planning on leaving the glair shield painted flat black with no covering. Anybody got an photos of their solution?

I made a fillet of a product called PC-7 for that application. It is a two part epoxy (reminded me of JB-weld, but in larger containers) and cures to a hard, dark grey finish.

I masked the roll bar and the plexi to give a clean line of demarcation and pushed the PC-7 into the gap. I tooled the fillet with a popsicle stick to give it an even radius, then pulled the masking tape. Looks nice, and (I believe) affords a little protection to the plexi should some ham-handed person grab the windscreen to hoist himself or herself out of the airplane.
