Hi @rinku, welcome to the forum 🙂

A FlySky i6 is a type of radio controller, so can’t control a thruster directly. You’ll at least need some kind of receiver that can output signals to either control a vehicle or output a PWM signal that can be sent directly to an [ESC](https://bluerobotics.com/store/thrusters/speed-controllers/besc30-r3/) which can control the thruster. It’s also worth noting that water absorbs radio waves quite quickly, so radio control is only really appropriate for surface vessels, or an underwater vehicle with a tethered connection to a buoy/vessel at the surface which receives the radio waves.

Would you be able to describe a bit more about what you’re actually trying to achieve, in terms of the type of vehicle, number of thrusters, and what kind of control you’re wanting?
