Ok, my instructor did a simulated engine failure in the pattern; winds
were around 20kts in the air and 13kts on the ground. Did everything
perfectly; however after we took off again, he told me to maintain 65
kts next time, and I totally disagreed.
The manual says 65 kts for best glide speed; however that is in calm
air. As a glider person, I know adding about 1/2 the headwind component
will give the greatest distance.

Yes, the greatest *distance* - if you *need* it. Otherwise, I think
he's right - fly at 65kts, and you get the longest time in the air
(something you're short of usually, when the fan dies).

But yep, you're right, *if* you need to get the distance to make the
field.
