Adding a force offset to center of mass does not cause rotation.

I am trying to make an object rotate by applying relative force to it, but it does not rotate at all. My object looks like this: --[ ]-- in the XY plane. The [ ] indicate the "main body" and the -- indicate the "wings" where I apply the relative force. The wings are attached to the body using two Fixed joints on the main body. The object is affected by gravity, and if i add a force to one of the wings i can see that it changes its velocity, but it does not rotate if the two forces are different. The Main body has its constraints frozen for position in the Z axis and the rotation in X and Y axis because I only want it to move along the XY plane. The relative force added is on the wings Y plane. Should not this cause my object to rotate? Or do I have to apply Torque or rotation manually?
