7 is perfect and 15 is a little too much for one of your first flights for a 4m. 15 mph would be a little on the high side even with a 3m until you have a little experience. My 3m comes out to replace the 4.9 at about 17-20 for the buggy though.

Beamers should come with an instructional dvd, the lines and handles will be all color coded for easy setup.

Beamers are pretty easy to set up, and great as first time flyers. Give this a read:

One of the members here, acambell, put it together and it's a great guide for your first flight with a quad line power kite.
