Federal law says it isn't trespassing. You don't own the airspace above your property. That's why you can't sue Channel 5 news for flying their helicopter over your property either. Perhaps you think that you can sue someone and just make up whatever you want the law to be and think a jury will believe that but that's not how it works.

Since it's happened multiple times that someone has knocked down a drone, and the person who attacked the drone is the one arrested and subject to civil liability, and the drone operator is not arrested or charged with any of your made-up laws, I think you'll find the police only too happy to correct you on which side of the jail cell bars you are on.
