Having flown many fixed wing and multi-rotors of sizes small to large fixed wing tends to require more skill to pilot and are harder to get autonomous landing right (a bad reading from the barometer on landing and you're toast) at least with the Pixhawk on a multi-rotor it'll stay hovering over the landing point until it is relatively certain that the GPS height and barometer readings match before landing. I've witnessed planes nosediving into the ground under the same conditions. Now indeed there are extra sensors that can help with this Lidar etc. but for a standard setup it's an issue.
