No doubt.
Next thing you'll know it will be okay to fly around forest fires with drones.

Seattle PD bought a few of the drones pictured. When the citizens of Seattle found out, they were pissed. Pissed about drones, and pissed THEIR money was spent buying these invaders of privacy.
There was such an uproar the SPD had to return the drones with a promise not to ever use drones again, or something like that.
Seattlelites do not like drones.
Unfortunately judges have ruled that HOA's are "autonomous states" so they could actually can pull something like this off.
I'd fight it. According to their definition, even little microdrones are outlawed, as well as flying within your own backyard. Flying it below the fence line even. What if someone from the neighboring subdivision area flies over "their airspace"? What do they think they can possibly do? They have no control over what people outside the boundaries of their property do. It's all blustering hot air, and I'd go to HOA meeting and fight it.
Interesting that you used the Seattle Police Drone photo. The SPD drone program never got off the ground (pun intended). The citizens of Seattle hate drones and with the help of the ACLU the plan was scrapped.

Hmmm, many HOAs cannot pass rules regarding your parcel use (lot) without a membership vote.
If that were the case in my HOA they could not prevent me from flying from and over my lot.

It's your choice to buy/own within an HOA...
Not sure sheep is the best analogy when you have freewill to choose.
No offense but oversimplification, IMO. We all live unique lifestyles and have different requirements and choices for housing, work, commute, love, life, etc. I don't walk in your shoes and your don't walk in mine….
HOA's may be a necessary evil for some folks and I think the distinction here is that when making the choice to join HOA and buy-in, these prohibitions weren't part of the contract. Now, apparently through whatever "due process" they're rules of the land.
Albeit without disclosed penalties at this time, haha…
Our current HOA situation has done similar as OP. They even went the extra step to ban all RC vehicles/devices including cars kids play with in their driveway or quiet culdesac. Utter ********, WTF are kids supposed to do to play and learn?

Look to your documents to see if they (BOD) can promulgate rules regarding parcels without membership vote.
Not common here in Fla.
You also have State Statutes regarding HOAs, non-profit corps., etc.
You may find the BOD has no such authority without community (member) input.

It's one thing to know what rules are in place when you move in. It's quite another when they keep piling on more and more unreasonable rules.
