Wind Gen plus Solar panel ... connection?

We have been using an 18w solar panel with charge controller on Brigadoon. A good friend just gave us a nice Rutland 913 wind generator and HRS913 controller. ...... Question: how do we hook them up together? I assume only one controller is needed. The panel is supposed to already have a diode built-in to stop back current. Do we just put the wind gen. in parallel with panel? Does the wind gen. need a diode as well?Or, should be use both controllers in parallel? It's a bit confusing.

Thanks,
