'Rowing' motion script...?

I'm trying to simulate the sort of rowing/flying motion of fins...of the fishlike variety. Since my skill at scripting is just about non-existant the only thing I've managed so far is to tweak a Rotation script and position prims just so to have the 'fin' move in a somewhat oval path.

While that works it seems a bit clunky and not particularly easy to adjust. I can't help but wonder if there's a better way to recreate this sort of motion but like I said...I'm not the most skilled scripter by far.

If anyone would be kind enough to offer some suggestions I'd appreciate it muchly! Thank you!

Aw...no one?
If anyone can help my airship fins be graceful and beautiful I'd be so grateful! ^-^

In-game after 8pm SLT if anyone wants to see the 'bones' of this project. I'm just roughing things out right now...getting prims shaped up, organizing scripts, working on textures, etc.
