On the throttle handle. It might be difficult to reach without changing VC view or without a TrackIR, so you might find easier to use the keyboard command, the key on the left of the Enter key (key name depending on country), or assign the speed brake on a joystick or throttle axis, the Saitek X52 throttle has a dedicated slided just for that.

That on the throttle is proportional, because it can be dragged. If you use they keyboard, instead, it's either 0 or 100%

twrodd, the F/A-18 speedbrake is mapped to "spoiler" in the control surfaces dropdown. I think this is what you were asking.
